The Clockmaker's Daughter

I enjoyed The Clockmaker's Daughter by Kate Morton which is set in a few different time periods in an English country home.  A young London archivist, Elodie, discovers material in a leather satchel and tries to discover its origins and the story behind the artwork within it.  The story surrounds one country home which at different times was home to a number of people.  There was a mysterious gathering at the home in 1862 which has a lasting impact on some who were there.  There are several voices who speak to the reader in this story, including the most mysterious one who is revealed towards the end of the story.  I have enjoyed all Kate Morton's books but I think this one was unnecessarily long.  4/5
