The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

5.0

Reclusive author Vida Winter is finally ready to tell her own story to the world. Recruiting young biographer Margaret Lea, Margaret and the reader sit mesmerized and enchanted as Vida recounts her beautiful tale of gothic strangeness. From a strange old mansion, to the creepy feral twins Emmeline and Adeline, to a ghost, to a governess, to a mysterious devastating fire, Setterfield weaves a beautiful gothic mystery akin to Jane Eyre or Rebecca. Don’t miss this mesmerizing tale, or her next Once Upon a River out Jan 2019, where books, words, and the magic of storytelling come together to transform minds and reveal hidden truths long since buried.
