图书描述

When Margaret Lea opened the door to the past, what she confronted was her destiny.

All children mythologize their birth...So begins the prologue of reclusive author Vida Winter's collection of stories, which are as famous for the mystery of the missing thirteenth tale as they are for the delight and enchantment of the twelve that do exist.

The enigmatic Winter has spent six decades creating various outlandish life histories for herself -- all of them inventions that have brought her fame and fortune but have kept her violent and tragic past a secret. Now old and ailing, she at last wants to tell the truth about her extraordinary life. She summons biographer Margaret Lea, a young woman for whom the secret of her own birth, hidden by those who loved her most, remains an ever-present pain. Struck by a curious parallel between Miss Winter's story and her own, Margaret takes on the commission.

As Vida disinters the life she meant to bury for good, Margaret is mesmerized. It is a tale of gothic strangeness featuring the Angelfield family, including the beautiful and willful Isabelle, the feral twins Adeline and Emmeline, a ghost, a governess, a topiary garden and a devastating fire.

Margaret succumbs to the power of Vida's storytelling but remains suspicious of the author's sincerity. She demands the truth from Vida, and together they confront the ghosts that have haunted them while becoming, finally, transformed by the truth themselves.

The Thirteenth Tale is a love letter to reading, a book for the feral reader in all of us, a return to that rich vein of storytelling that our parents loved and that we loved as children. Diane Setterfield will keep you guessing, make you wonder, move you to tears and laughter and, in the end, deposit you breathless yet satisfied back upon the shore of your everyday life.

著者简介

…a mistress of the craft of storytelling.”

The Guardian

Diane Setterfield is a British author. Her bestselling novel, The Thirteenth Tale (2006) was published in 38 countries worldwide and has sold more than three million copies. It was number one in the New York Times hardback fiction list for three weeks and is enjoyed as much for being ‘a love letter to reading’ as for its mystery and style. Her second novel, Bellman & Black (2013 is a genre-defying tale of rooks and Victorian retail. January 2019 sees the publication of her new title, Once Upon a River, which has been called 'bewitching' and 'enchanting'.

Born in Englefield, Berkshire in 1964, Diane spent most of her childhood in the nearby village of Theale. After schooldays at Theale Green, Diane studied French Literature at the University of Bristol. Her PhD was on autobiographical structures in André Gide’s early fiction. She taught English at the Institut Universitaire de Technologie and the Ecole nationale supérieure de Chimie, both in Mulhouse, France, and later lectured in French at the University of Central Lancashire in the UK. She left academia in the late 1990s to pursue writing.

The Thirteenth Tale was acquired by Heyday Films and adapted for television by the award-winning playwright and scriptwriter, Christopher Hampton. Starring Vanessa Redgrave and Olivia Colman, it was filmed in 2013 in North Yorkshire for BBC2. The TV rights to Once Upon a River have even sold to Kudos (Broadchurch, Spooks, Grantchester).

Diane Setterfield has been published in over forty countries.

Diane lives in Oxford, in the UK. When not writing she reads widely, and when not actually reading she is usually talking or thinking about reading. She is, she says, ‘a reader first, a writer second.’

开头气氛营造的好,后面就水了

这可咋整啊。看了开头就能猜到中间,看了一半就能猜到结尾。我以后读小说可咋读啊。这也算哥特小说??????

弃,就是简爱+呼啸山庄,越到后面越不知所以然

一则不疾不徐,娓娓道来的故事。虽然结尾略欠火候,但是文字的优美和刻画的细腻远远超过故事本身的魅力。好多次我的眼光曾在一些精美绝伦的段落上久久流连,不愿离开,感叹原来英语是这么美丽的一种语言……      书中两个女主角都爱书如痴,想象中作者自己一定也是个爱书之人。

书中,作为一位积年累月编织故事的大作家,维达·温特叙述的自己经历开头仍然像一个故事。 “从前有一幢闹鬼的房子……” “从前有一座图书馆……” “从前有一对双胞胎……” 莫说,所有引人入胜的好故事都有着这样的开头。每一个人也都有过这样的童年,...

每次偷得半日闲暇读小说对我而言,堪比与天人交战,因为心里不断计算着这半小时可以背出单词的数量。 可《第十三个故事》确实好看,从起始第一页就让人直想手不释卷地一口气读完。 纵观此书,我简直铁口直断认定Diane setterfield是拿"第十三个故事"向勃朗特姐妹致敬。不过书中...
