The Thirteen Tale, by Diane Setterfield.
First, I have been ignoring this book in the bookstore for quite some time. I thought was a book that I had tried to read in the late 90’s. FINALLY gave it a chance recently and REALLY enjoyed it. As it turns out the copyright says 2006!
If you are looking to know what the 13th tale is . . . you will have to read closely. In fact, I missed it. I have a guess . . . but that is all. The book is about an amateur biographer who is asked to write the biography of the most well known novelist of the time. The story is layered, interesting, and unique; without being a “bookclub” book. I read for enjoyment; not to cry about someone else’s history!
