I bought The Thirteenth Tale on a whim based on the description of a different edition of the book, that hinted heavily that this was a book that was about books and reading, as much as it was about an author's past, and made it sound like it was magic realism. While it's not the usual kind of book I would read, I absolutely loved it! I bought The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield on a whim, as it was a book recommended to me on StoryGraph based on my reading history. The Thirteenth Tale is a spellbinding mystery, a love letter to storytelling, and a modern classic. What has Angelfield been hiding? What is the secret that strikes at the heart of Margaret's own, troubled life? And can both women ever confront the ghosts that haunt them.? But as Margaret succumbs to the power of her storytelling, two parallel stories begin to unfold. Vida's history is mesmering - a tale of ghosts, governesses, and gothic strangeness.
Now Margaret Lea is investigating Angelfield's past, and its mysterious connection to the enigmatic writer Vida Winter. But the house hides a chilling secret which strikes at the very heart of each of them, tearing their lives apart.
