Why read it?
1 author picked The Clocks in This House All Tell Different Times as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A disturbing and beautiful novel with an oblique, unexpected approach to the horrors of war. If the ‘horrors of war’ is an off-putting phrase for you take heart, this is not about the violent frontline of World War I but its consequences and effects on those directly and indirectly involved. The heroine is a young girl called Lucy, a wonderfully touching character, who is taken into the dark woods, where fairy tale and true-life horror overlap. This is a profound book, but it is also often funny and moving, ultimately illustrating the human capacity for kindness and love.
