Beautifully written and narrated
I loved this beautiful book. A wonderful story written with stunning language, gripping and descriptive. It was so easy to listen and the story moved chapter to chapter at a perfect pace. I didn’t want it to end.

Engaging, different and enjoyable
I'm new to Diane Setterfield, but am already a fan after this, my second book of hers. Her stories are so original and so well paced and plotted and she's a real book lover's writer.
The main sub-plot involving the main character Maragaret and her family history really didn't work for me - I found it rather contrived. But, the main thrust of the plot is about Vida Winter and that is really entertaining - not so realistic when taken as a whole, but that felt okay to me because the whole story is really pretty fairy tale 'ish - in a good way.
If you want something original to lose yourself in and enjoy lots of detail centric storytelling, you will enjoy this!
Jenny Agutter's narration is excellent.

A spell-binding story, beautifully told
I have only recently come across Diane Setterfield's work, and started off with Once Upon A River. However, I found that a little hard to get into, so I bought The Thirteenth Tale as her first novel. I was pulled into her beautifully crafted world almost immediately - her characters, and the atmosphere of the book, have stayed with me long after finishing the story. It has a fairy-tale quality that captivates and delights, with darker threads beautifully woven throughout. This was beautifully read too by Jenny Agutter - it was indeed a perfect marriage of artist and story. Now to go back to the rest of her work!
