When Elenora Grey inherits her late aunt’s flower shop in the sleepy Devon town of Totnes, she hopes for nothing more than a quiet fresh start. But Time & Thyme is no ordinary florist. Beneath the ticking clock of East Gate Arch, strange things begin to stir — flowers bloom out of season, a cash register writes its own orders, and upstairs, behind a locked door, is a man who shouldn’t exist.
He calls himself the clockmaker. Calm, unreadable, and impossibly out of time, he knows more about the shop — and Elenora’s past — than he ever admits. As Elenora rebuilds her life from the ashes of fear and regret, she’s drawn into a world where grief takes root and time itself can heal… or haunt.
Tender, atmospheric, and quietly magical, The Clockmaker is a story about second chances, the ghosts we carry, and the courage it takes to let time move forward again.
What did I think?
The Clockmaker is a wonderful novella that is quick and easy to read. It may be a short book with just 57 pages but it is incredibly poignant and heartwarming.
It's such a lovely story of a niece inheriting her aunt's flower shop and Elenora feels as if her aunt is still there when strange things start to happen. It's a bit like an Enid Blyton book for adults with a magical cash register and a mysterious tenant in an upstairs room.
I can't really say much more about the book without spoiling it for others but it is definitely well worth a read. I loved it and would recommend it if you're looking for a quick and poignant read.
I received a digital ARC to read and review for the Love Books Tours Bookstagram Tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
