The Thirteenth Tale


I just finished reading The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. If you devoured Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, then you would love this book. It's sort of a gothic novel within a novel, told by a popular novelist to her gothic-novel-loving biographer. Definitely entertaining. Apparently, Setterfield made a huge splash in the UK when she sold the book for 800,000 pounds. And then it sold for a million in the US. She was discovered in a writing class. Go figure. Perhaps there's hope for all of those creative writers out there.
