Book Review of The Thirteenth Tale

The Thirteenth Tale
c-squared avatar reviewed on + 181 more book reviews


Ghosts who may or may not be ghosts. The moors. Orphans. Insanity. Secrets. The Thirteenth Tale has all the elements of a classic gothic novel, but with a modern setting.

The plot alone would make this book, but Setterfield's detailed imagination and finesse with words makes it a truly worthwhile read. I could not put this book down and I did not see the end coming.
