If I've been absent dear friends its because I've been in the car savoring every single word of
" The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield. It was voted the best first novel of the year for 2006, and i don't know where i found the lead for it ( most likely the NY times book section) but I'm so thrilled i did. I know last summer i wore you guys out over how fabulous The Shadow of The Wind was, and i can't say this is better but i love them both so much that on this last of 14 audio discs I feel terrible that it is about to end.
This is the very essence of what intriguing intelligent fiction( with that small Gothic spooky spin)is supposed to be. Whomever this Diane Setterfield is ( and I'm about to stalk her) so if anyone knows her save me the time, she deserves every bit of praise lavished on her.
Run do not walk and get this book right now, i borrowed the 14 CD version( maybe 20 hrs in the car) from the library, but I'm right now going to go buy it in a Hardcover and anything else this wonderful author has penned.
Isn't it wonderful to discover a great new read !!!!!!!
