While I don't necessarily like every gothic romance novel, I love the trappings that come with them: beatiful heroines, naïve governesses, old manor houses with abandoned wings and spooky grounds, creepy little girls, family secrets, and of course ghosts. Diane Setterfield's The Thirteenth Tale promises to incorporate all of those things in a story about a couple of writers. Sign me up.
