Book Review // The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
I bought this book from a ‘3 for $10’ booksale at Punggol Plaza. It was a good read, and as stories go, very well spun. The story sees Margaret Lea, a biographer, enlisted to write the true life story of a well-known writer who’s about to die from a disease. So far the reclusive novelist has evaded answering the true story of her life, but as she spills out her history, it is a story that rivals the magic and wonder of any she’s written before.
An interesting take on twins and their relationships, and a ghost that wasn’t.
A good read to plunge into, evoking a reading experience along the lines of The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova.
