I finished The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield last night. What a wonderful story. I had a hard time getting into it at first because I was listening to it a little bit every night before I went to sleep, but I haven't been able to stop listening to it these past two days. I love the twists and turns, and though there were parts where I knew where the story might be going, there was a twist that I didn't know was going to happen. Throughout the whole book, I was sad that Vida Winter was not a real author and that I could not read her books. She was such a wonderful complex character. It was a wonderful gothic story, and I love gothic stories. Jane Eyre and The Woman in White were mentioned. I love those stories and want to reread them again, and I think I will when I finish Vanity Fair. I am actually quite sad that the story is over. I just went online to see if Setterfield had any other books to read, and she doesn't.
Right now, I am reading Vanity Fair, I Capture the Castle, and The Pleasure of My Company.
