alexandral: (FNL - Landry - reading)
I must ran home and pick my daughter from the after-school club but I am bursting with the "OMPH"! I love this book" thing so I must say this very quickly!

I felt under the weather yesterday so I decided to go to Borders in Leeds to indulge in some book shopping and Starbuck Hot Chocolate drinking (I am a simple girl :D) I remembered that [livejournal.com profile] soniag and [livejournal.com profile] queenofthorns recommended Thirteenth tale. I started reading it there, continued to read at home until it was quite late .. It drawn me in completely. I have finished a half of it and already spoiled myself for the ending. Really, I didn't expect to like it so much because it desn't really have a love story (apart of the lovely doctor's story which is quite small) and as a simple girl I am I usually need one to immerse completely into a book.

Story in short It is a ghost story, but an unusual one. Margaret Lea, a daughter of antic book-shop owner is invited to write a biography of England's most-read living author, mysterious Vida Winter. There are secrets buried in the past of both women and they are revealed..

Couple of the pictures of Diane Setterfield and the book cover. I think she looks like a very interesting lady. )

PS Needless to say I was feeling must better after reading.. :D
