The Clockmaker's Wife - Daisy Wood
She read
Publication Date: July 27, 2021
It seems I have read quite a few books in the past year or so about the World War II era. This one had a slightly different perspective as it focused on the destruction of London as well as a fifth column operating within Britain. Utilizing two timelines in the unspooling of the story was an effective device and the author’s descriptions of London both in the 1940s and today were particularly evocative.
The book did drag at times with overlong descriptions, even when those descriptions involved action and aspects of the story were unrealistic.
Readers who enjoy historical fiction (with the emphasis on fiction) or tales of the courage of strong women in troubling times or those who have investigated their ancestral stories, should give this book a try.
