I finished another novel last night. I was too tired to write a blog then, hence why I am writing it right now. This book has a gothic and creepy feel to it. I never understood how an author can produce this feeling when writing, but this author can. I kept seeing this book everywhere a couple years ago, and decided I wanted to read it. I've read it, and I don't think it's all it's cracked up to be.
The Thirteenth Tale is written by Diane Setterfield. It's about a woman who gets asked to write the autobiography of a reclusive author who is dying. With her time there, she learns the deep dark secrets of the author's pasts. The whole book kind of sets you on edge, even though it's hard to see why. Maybe because it hints at incest, and just the thought of that kind of sets me on edge.
I can't say that this novel wasn't well written, because it was, but like a lot of novels, I couldn't wait for it to be finished. At least I continued to read it unlike some novels. I just wasn't interested in it I guess, so that's why I gave it a so-so rating.
Anyway, until next time, Happy Reading!
