Diane Setterfield - The Thirteenth Tale Review

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

Don't worry, I won't give away any secrets!

Margaret, the main character of the story, is a book lover who works with her Father in the family owned book store.  She is also an new biographer who likes to research the dead.  Imagine her surprise when she received a letter from one of the world's most famous Authors, who is still alive.  Decade after decade, Vida Winter had made up stories about her past and was finally ready to set the story straight, before dying, and she wanted Margaret to write her biography.

This book is filled with a haunted (or is it?) mansion, trusted employees with secrets, twins with an unusual bond, libraries filled to the ceiling with books and Jane Eyre.

As Margaret learns about Ms. Winters secrets, we also learn more about Margaret's secrets and the secrets aren't that much different!

I'm not spilling anymore details. :)

My Viewpoint!
I love a good story.  I love to read a sentence and KNOW that I am going to love the book. I love to lose myself in the characters and the plot. I love a story that has twists and turns and while wrapping up the story, leaves me thinking well after I have finished the book. 

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield did not disappoint!  I loved every chapter, page and word.  The story was entertaining, well written and it enveloped me!

If you are into books that are "moving" or going to "change me" in some kind of way, this isn't the book for you.  This is just an overall good, entertaining story!
