My Grandfather's Clock

A great-aunt’s bequest - a 200-year-old grandfather clock - sends historian Graeme Davison on a journey deep into his father’s family’s past. From their tribal homeland in the Scottish Borders he follows them to the garrison town of Carlisle, from industrial Birmingham to Edwardian Australia, and from the Great War to his own suburban childhood.

Mostenirea unei matusi strabune - un ceas bunic vechi de 200 de ani - il trimite pe istoricul Graeme Davison intr-o calatorie adanc in trecutul familiei tatalui sau. Din patria lor tribala din Scottish Borders, el ii urmareste pana in orasul garnizoana Carlisle, de la Birmingham industrial la Australia Edwardiana si de la Marele Razboi pana la propria copilarie suburbana.
