The Thirteenth Tale--Diane Setterfield

A story within a story, about mysteries (fictional and metafictional), authors, and the love of books qua books. Set in the English countryside, it has a gothic feel. When I finished this (back in May, I believe) I loved it, but in retrospect, some of the connections between characters don't totally add up for me. But still a good read, though I'd recommend it for winter, when you can curl up with it, and a blanket, and a cup of cocoa. There's a lot of cocoa drinking going on in it.
