Vida Winter is a famous author with a missing tale. Now at her deathbed, she chooses a young woman, Margaret Lea, to come hear her life story and perhaps fill in the missing gaps.
cover blurb - Margaret is mesmerized by this tale of gothic strangeness, of a remote estate, feral children, a governess, a ghost, and a devastating fire.
You will be drawn into Diane Setterfield's The Thirteenth Tale and will not sleep until the final page.
This book keeps you guessing, makes you wonder, and in the end, deposits you breathless yet satisfied back upon the shore of your everyday world.
But our room was worth it - quite a view..... We settled in and enjoyed our rest of Thurs/ Friday/ and Saturday.
Travel is a challenge these days. Our flight was delayed a bit (one hour) due to maintenance issue. Flight back had to wait on flight crew. Big sigh.
