Description
Immerse yourself in a hauntingly beautiful tribute to the power of storytelling. The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield is a modern gothic masterpiece that echoes the atmospheric depth of Brontë and du Maurier. This spellbinding novel follows Margaret Lea, a quiet bookshop assistant and amateur biographer, who is summoned to the crumbling estate of Vida Winter, Britain’s most famous and reclusive novelist.
Winter, known for a lifetime of elaborate lies regarding her past, is finally ready to tell the truth. As she unfolds a dark family history filled with ghosts, madness, and a tragic fire, Margaret becomes entangled in the mystery of the “Thirteenth Tale”—a story missing from Winter’s debut collection that holds the key to the author’s identity.
Perfect for bibliophiles and fans of literary mysteries, this hardcover edition offers a tactile reading experience. Despite the absence of a dust jacket, the sturdy binding and classic design make it a wonderful addition to any personal library or a thoughtful gift for those who appreciate a slow-burn, atmospheric mystery.
