The Thirteenth Tale

This is one of those books I couldn't wait to tell people about! I hadn't read anything about it and just pulled it off the shelf to read. One of the times I was judging the book by the cover because it enticed me. I was instantly drawn in and couldn't put the book down. The chapters are quick and each leaves you wondering what the next will reveal. I kept trying to figure out what other books this one reminded me of. The author, Diane Setterfield, specializes in twentieth-century French literature and lives in England so she throws a lot of book titles into the story and she seems to know her Jane Eyre. Its a ghostly tale of twins and just when you think you've figured out who is who, the plot changes. The narrator is called to do the biography of a woman who has never told the truth about herself and you wonder throughout the whole story, if this is just another tale or, in fact, the truth.
