The Thirteenth Tale by Setterfield


In this era of multiple births it is easy to get sucked in to this story of twins and siblings who are intent on fooling everyone around them.

The story revolves around a highly successful author's efforts to record her life story as she fights off imminent death. The young lady she hires to write her memoirs soon suspects that all she is hearing is not strictly true. The reader moves quickly from past events to a present inquiry and back again - always with the strange feeling that there is a 13th tale to be told. These mischievious, unbridled, and some felt uncivilized twins take you on a merry chase that will thrill and chill you.

This adult fiction is for the serious reader and is best enjoyed without too many interruptions. But it is worth every minute and will leave you wanting more. It is now in the CVL.
