I found this book very interesting. It was read by two different voices which really helped follow the story. The ending was very complete and that is something I value in a good story.

I don't know that Ive ever enjoyed an audio book more. The narrators were beyond wonderful - I was spellbound and actually wished my commute was longer. What a beautiful story from beginning to end. The characters are fascinating - all of them! Wow! Great! 5 stars!

Oh how I loved this book! The story within a story, the deep love of reading, the strange characters there is good and evil and everything in between. Ive seen this referred to as a Gothic novel and Id have to agree. It just has that *feel* about it, what with a dilapidated old mansion, numerous recluses, and mysterious happenings.

A 7-hour abridgement read by Ruthie Henshall and Lynn Redgrave

"The Thirteenth Tale is a return to that rich vein of storytelling that our parents loved and we loved as children. Diane Setterfield will keep you guessing, make you wonder, move you to tears and laughter, and in the end, deposit you breathless yet satisfied back upon the shore of your everyday life."
