The Clockmaker's Daughter
In 1862, artist Edward Radcliffe invites friends to Birchwood Manor, but their idyllic summer ends with a woman murdered and a valuable jewel missing. More than a century later, London archivist Elodie Winslow finds an old photograph and a sketchbook depicting a house that feels inexplicably familiar. Multiple lives unfold around the manor, including that of Birdie Bell, the clockmaker's daughter whose voice has lingered there beyond her own time. Haunting and mosaic-like, this novel suits readers who enjoy artists' circles, Gothic houses, ghosts, archival discoveries, and mysteries assembled across generations rather than along a single timeline.
