Still Scratching My Head After Reading The Clockmaker's Daughter

Image
  I've read two other books by Kate Morton: The Distant Hours and The Secret Keeper . Both books were poetically written, atmospheric, mysterious and tragic. And I was satisfied with both. Therefore, I did go into this book with expectations because I am familiar with her style, and my expectations were met in the first-half. This book started off in true Morton style, but the second half crashed and burned for me because it feels rushed and has holes in.  Show your  support for books and reading . Summary The Clockmaker's Daughter  by Kate Morton is a mix of historical fiction and mystery. Readers are taken on a journey across time to put the pieces together about what happened at Birchwood Manor during the summer of 1862 where a robbery, a murder and a disappearance occurred.  Members of the Magenta Brotherhood gathered for a summer at renowned painter Edward Radcliffe's home, Birchwood Manor. Edward, his sister, his favorite model and some friends worked on ...

Finding Myself in The Little Shop of Found Things: A Book Review

Image
Since the troubling news I had received of late in the ASMR community, I threw myself into my artistic projects, one of which was this book review. The book was one I started back in September; it had been calling my name ever since I left it unfinished. At the time, I read half of the first chapter, but it felt depressing. It turns out that now was the right time to read it, and I listened to Adrien von Ziegler's haunting Celtic fantasy composition of Resting by the Fire . It complemented the story perfectly for me. You Should Read The Little Shop of Found Things if... You love antiques  You enjoy the new-in-town theme You want to be spirited away through time You are intrigued by the paranormal Want a short and spoiler-free version? Check out my review on Reedsy Discovery.  Summary  The Little Shop of Found Things by Paula Brackston is a historical fiction and fantasy novel that tells the story of Xanthe Westlake and her mother arriving in Marlborough, Wiltshire to s...

The Enchanting Tale of the House of Salt and Sorrows

Image
You 're probably aware of the trend nowadays where stories are told and retold in new ways; now is the age of story recycling. Look at the super hero films, like Spiderman and Batman. The same thing is happening in the book industry: fairy tales are constantly rewritten from a new perspective, like that of the villain. House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig is a fairy tale retelling, but it's one that focuses on a lesser-known tale: Grimm's The Twelve Dancing Princesses . I read this story when I was young; it was part of a book that was paired with a more original telling of Hans Christen Andersen's The Little Mermaid . Show your  support for books and reading . The Original Story of The Twelve Princesses The King of twelve princesses finds that his daughters' shoes are constantly in tatters and they are always tired, yet he knows they do not venture out of the castle. Even when he locks their doors at night, nothing changes, so the King makes a Roy...
