The Thirteenth Tale

When I read, sometimes I can completely loose myself, I can read for an hour or two without distraction and devour 50 or 60 pages. However, sometimes I can't focus and before I know it, I am trying to list all the Girls Aloud singles in alphabetical order, or do I have the correct ingredients for pineapple upside down cake or quite simply, where is the dog!! That's what it was like reading this book, I did love it. It's beautifully written, I loved the ambiguity of time, at the end everything fitted into place nicely and I did get a little teary. It just lost me in places and I was a bit bored in the middle.
