The other day I finished The Thirteenth Tale. Now let me tell you, this is a very different book than the ones I’ve been reviewing (and reading). The last ones have been all Teen/YA books. This one just used to be. It’s not a difficult book to read, but it is harder than the ones I have reviewed thus far. The story is great, and writing is wonderful, I just found that I had to be really focused on this book, and more than once I had to read over sections a few times. Don’t get me wrong, this book is great. And on with the review…
Summary
A twofold story, about an amateur biographer requested to write a biography on an infamous author, who for once promises to tell the truth, not a story. The book has two stories, one is the story of Vida Winter’s life before she started writing, and the second is about the biographer, Margaret Lea, and what happens in between when she is listening to and writing Miss Winter’s biography.
What I thought
Besides the fact that I occasionally had to re-read a few parts, I couldn’t put the book down. There was always something more to know. At least it was still there in the morning, or else I would have read all through the night.
Note: Very Good…
Enjoy this book,
xoxo
