The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
5.0
Revisited November 2021
I almost never re-read #books, but this week I revisited a novel I read, loved, and enthusiastically recommended for many years. It holds up! And I had misrembered some key points, so that made the experience even better. Perfect #audio performance (Lynn Redgrave!)
January 2008
By far, one of the best books I've read in recent years. Densely written...no brain candy here! I was tempted to skip over some of the descriptive passages (she's very Bronte that way) but I fought the urge and ended up being all the more drawn into the story. I'm always in such a hurry to finish things, this book forced me to slow down and THINK and rewarded me with terrific writing and a really good story. I can't wait to seek out more of Setterfield's books.
