Thirteenth Tale



One of the best books I have read in a while, The Thirteenth Tale, is a novel you won't be able to put down. Biographer, Margaret Lea, receives a handwritten almost illegible letter from the famous author Vita Winters. "Come on Monday, " it says, she is finally willing to tell the truth about her incredible life. Thus unfolds the story of love, loss, twins and fire and the Angelfield family. I wanted to know the ending so badly I finished the book in three days!
