Let’s dig in by putting ourselves in Margaret’s place. Given those characterizations, does The Thirteenth Tale resonate more as an old novel or as contemporary writing?Ģ. Her father advocates for contemporary writing, ones “where the message is that there is no end to human suffering, only endurance…endings that are muted, but which echo longer in the memory.” Do you side with Margaret or with her father? Is it that simple? Do you recall why Margaret says she prefers old novels? (see p. 32) Margaret contrasts her reading as a child to her reading as an adult. In many ways, this is a book for book lovers, and there are multiple passages that speak to readers. If reproducing, please credit with the following statement: 2016 Mount Prospect Public Library.
