The Thirteenth Tale
Diane Setterfield
A young woman, Margaret Lea works in her father’s bookstore. She loves to read and spends a lot of time writing biographies about forgotten authors and the likes. Margaret is called to record the biography of the reclusive Vida Winter. Vida is probably England’s most famous writer and she is without a doubt the most colourful. Every time she is asked about her past she gives a different story, each one as unique and unbelievable as the last!
Margaret is completely enthralled by Vida’s story, she gets lost in the story within the story. I guarantee you that you will get lost with her! Time and place lose all meaning with this incredible book. It has the feel of a good old fashioned fairy tale; it has magic, mystery and suspense. Here’s my advice curl up on the coach, watch the snow fall and don’t forget that hot chocolate, this book is a definite hit! This book is a book for book lovers because a lot of the story takes place in libraries and bookstores. This made me love it even more.
You’re probably not exactly sure what it’s about well then read it because Diane Setterfield tells the story a hundred times better then me! You’ll be sucked in from the very first word! Promise!
The book has a lot of different covers but this is my personal favourite :)
