Best book you'e read in the last year...

I borrowed the book "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield from a friend. At the time, I was unsure if I'd like it. But just a few pages in, and I was hooked.
 
The story focuses on a girl who's hand-picked to tell the true biography of a well-known author. Most of the story is this author's interesting, parentless childhood. It's the story of the author and her twin and how they were raised by the nearly-blind maid and the aging groundskeeper on the family's huge estate.
