Setterfield, Diane

This title is an essential purchase for libraries whose patrons appreciate literary fiction with a touch of the unreal. ["Recommended to readers who enjoy popular or historical fiction with gothic twists as well as fans of the author's other novels": LJ 9/15/18 starred review of the Atria hc.]

Setterfield's latest novel is set near the Thames river and surrounding villages. The heart of the story are the relationships that twist and turn, as if they also follow the river. Recommended to readers who enjoy popular or historical fiction with gothic twists as well as fans of the author's other novels, especially The Thirteenth Tale. [See Prepub Alert, 7/2/18.]

An excellent listen. ["Lovers of true ghost stories may be disappointed, but fans of Setterfield's best-selling debut will snatch this one up," read the review of the Emily Bestler: Atria hc, LJ 10/1/13.]
