This novel, the second from the writer of the thrilling and very popular THE THIRTEENTH TALE is shorter, less thrilling but oh, how much more haunting and moving and altogether more memorable than its predecessor.

I have been haunted by it since I read it for the first time some weeks ago. I don't often reread books. There are too many new and exciting things being published all the time for me to want to go back to something I already know.
