The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It took a little bit for me to get into the book but once Vida Winter started telling her story, I was hooked. I enjoy a good ghost story and this was a really good one. I guess what makes ghosts stories great are the amount of mystery which is involved.

The main undertone of the whole book was about twins or siblings and their connection to one another. The main characters in Vida Winter's story was Emmeline and Adeline, The Angelfield twins. I found them to be very interesting but a bit curious, as they were both a little "off".

As the story progressed, I did figure out part of the ending but my hypothesis was wrong and the author explained it in a totally different way than I could have possibly imagined it. Also, the twists she threw in were great, always keeping your mind from going to sleep. I loved it.

I would definitely recommend this book. My book club read it for our Halloween book club meeting and it was very fitting.
