About this listen

June, 1905.

Helena and her parrot, Orbit, are swept off to Cambridge when her father is appointed clock-winder to one of the wealthiest men in England. There is only one rule: the clocks must never stop.

But Helena discovers the house of one hundred clocks holds many mysteries: a ghostly figure, strange notes and disappearing winding keys....

Can she work out its secrets before time runs out?

I think this book was suggested to me in the context of the fantasy genre, but it's not what this is. Just a human family drama with a bit of mystery & a lot of clocks. Still, an enjoyable way to pass the time. The narrator is pretty good. Her voice on some of the younger characters and the parrot becomes a bit grating. I've heard her on other, grittier, adult books and she was more nuanced.

A sweet little story but a lot of mystery that leads to nothing much.
