7/5/2023 0 Comments The thirteenth tale bookNo one has any idea who she really is or where she is from. Margaret says its as if she appeared, in her twenties, with the publishing of her first book. Not only is Vera Winter known for her exceptional writing, but also for her mysterious background. Margaret certainly knows who Vera Winter is – the most famous author of her time – but is disinclined to read her work, simply because all her reading time is already devoted to 18th century writers. Her father, more well-rounded in his reading, suggests she might enjoy the writings of Vera Winter. She loves to read, but is mainly interested in 18th century writers. In the Thirteenth Tale, Margaret Lea works in her father’s small bookshop. Two weeks ago, when I was getting ready to go to the library, I looked up the title on a whim and discovered that not only did the library own it, but it was checked in. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield, of course, is a serious best-seller, so it’s not as though I’ve found some secret treasure here, but I hadn’t talked to a soul who’d read it, and frankly I didn’t know one thing about it, except that I’d seen the title pop up on amazon recommendations several times. This is one of those books that I feel like I just stumbled upon.
