Clocks and Books

  • Submitted: 26th October 2018

The clocks go back this weekend so that means an extra hour in bed….reading….

A book where time is off the essence and where clocks appear in the story or even just on the cover…

There’s ALWAYS time for a book, right?

Clocks

 

Time is of the essence in this thriller…for a right royal secret is about to be revealed

set London, Ireland, Norwich

This is set back in the 1990s too so a nice journey back in time as well…

The Love letter

The Love letter

The Clockmaker’s Daughter

Set in  London

A house spills out its secrets across time…..

The theme of time is very strong in this novel and the house which sees inhabitants come and go and leave a little part of them behind…

The Clockmakers Daughter

The Clockmakers Daughter

Step back in time to when the Sydney Opera House was created

Sydney, Australia

A fascinating time in history and this novel takes you right back to when this historic building was being constructed…

 

And then perhaps the most famous clock of all (where a white rabbit is late)

A watch on a chain in this instance…

 

There so many books with themes of clocks and times in them. But then all books allow you to lose time don’t they? Loose yourself in a book and when you come back to reality, you feel you’ve been away, for a nice literary break for ages!
