Author Kate Morton makes time fly in her spellbinding new novel, The Clockmaker’s Daughter.
INTERNATIONAL BEST-SELLING author Kate Morton is renowned for her page-turning historical novels, primarily set in bucolic English locations such as Cornwall and Kent. A master at profiling families—their secrets, their complexities—she often moves between past and present, keeping readers guessing as to how the characters will eventually connect.
Morton’s latest and sixth novel, The Clockmaker’s Daughter, has all her brilliant signatures. A heart-stopping mystery that begins in Victorian-era London, the book centers on Albertine “Birdie” Bell, an orphan who becomes a pickpocket in Covent Garden. “I am fascinated by the Victorian era,” says Morton, who lives in London with her husband, Davin Patterson, and their three sons, ages 5 to 15. “You can look at this period and see so much of what is in our life today.”
