Books, glorious books~

Diane Setterfield is an English writer that was totally unknown for me until a few years ago.
When I was in the high school I went to a bookshop and looked for some books to keep entertained during a long trip by bus. There, I discovered The Kingkiller Chronicle and bought too The Odyssey. A third book caught my attention, but I had just bought two books, so I came back home.
A few days later, I still was thinking about the cover of that book and wondering about what kind of story it had.
Fortunately, the book was still in the same place when I came back to that shop, so I bought it. This novel is The Thirteenth Tale.
Vida Winter is a really famous and old novelist that has always been lying when she was asked about her life. The novelist knows that her death is near, so she asks for Margaret's (the protagonist) help to write her biography; the thirteenth and last work, The Thirteenth Tale.
This book may don't seem very interesting; the slow rhythm and Margaret's dull, shy and sad personality actually made me drop the story, but when I restarted reading two years ago, I discovered a wonderful suspense tale, full of misteries and secrets waiting for me.
The Thirteenth Tale gave me back the love for reading, and made me believe that there are thousands of stories out there, waiting to be read by someone, and we must dedicate them the time they require.
The Thirteenth Tale became one of my favourite books, and now I do regret to have left it years ago.
Nowadays it is a bit difficult to find it physically sold, but please, if you can, buy it and read it.
You may think that it is boring, but dedicate it enough time and you will discover that you actually love it. You will not regret.
