Federation Book Club reads “The Clockmaker’s Daughter” by Kate Morton

Jun 3, 2023

We added a few books to the list, unable to resist Spare, by Prince Harry, even though we all know it’s ghostwritten. Speaking of ghosts, The Clockmaker’s Daughter is a novel mostly told by a ghost’s point of view. While that part of it is enjoyable, the group agreed that it’s a complicated story, “too much work” to read, and full of too many characters that probably should have been condensed. I did the audiobook and told the group I thought it would work best as spooky campfire storytelling.
