From the moment the author introduces Faith, the clock maker's daughter, she seems familiar. It is easy to believe  you've known her forever. Then Quinten shows up - detached, masculine, mysterious.  The tension is palpable.Their story is told with detail and clarity that is captivating.  There are unpredictable events; diverse and endearing supporting characters and amusing antics. The children are authentic and entertaining. There are subplots within the story that give you the feeling you've read more than one book simultaneously!While sometimes stretching plausibility, the story does move rapidly.  Whether the author has set you in the dusty market or outside the gypsy camp or in the little garden tended by an eccentric aunt, the author never abandons you.  The story leads to an exciting and satisfying final chapter.While I personally would have preferred more dialogs and less narration at times, it did not detract from the story.  Sitting with the Baron and the Clockmaker's daughter was time well spent.
