There are just some people who are fascinating...and we all want to know their life stories. Think about that celebrity or author or singer- wouldn't you give anything for an hour alone with them and a notebook full of questions?
Well, in "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield, a famous author named Vida Winter has given out twelve previous tales about her life- all different and all false. She is a mystery. But now Vida is on her death bed and she wants to give out the true tale of her life. This is an engrossing, slow, luscious tale with a twist at the end that you will never see coming. Perfect for a snowy weekend when you're stuck indoors. Make sure you have a cup of hot chocolate and plenty of time...
This book does deal with more mature themes so please make sure you are a mature reader. If you are a younger read try "The Wednesday Wars", if you are an older reader pick up "Speak".
