Program Description
This month we will be reading and discussing "The Clockmaker's Daughter" by Kate Morton.
In the depths of a 19th-century winter, a little girl is abandoned on the streets of Victorian London. She grows up to become in turn a thief, an artist’s muse, and a lover. In the summer of 1862, shortly after her eighteenth birthday, she travels with a group of artists to a beautiful house on a bend of the Upper Thames. Tensions simmer and one hot afternoon a gunshot rings out. A woman is killed, another disappears, and the truth of what happened slips through the cracks of time. It is not until over a century later, when another young woman is drawn to Birchwood Manor, that its secrets are finally revealed.
"The Clockmaker's Daughter" is available through our catalog, and as an eBook through CloudLibrary. Please visit our front desk or call 941-861-1744 to reserve a copy of the book.
We will be meeting in-person in the Shannon Staub Library Conference Room.
