Vida Winter is a famous writer who has given different accounts of her life to biographers. When she felt it was time to finally tell the truth about her life, she asked Margaret Lea, a bookseller's daughter, to write her story. Margaret travels to Angelfield House, the home of the March family, to investigate Winter's tale about twins, an abandoned baby, and a ghost. Angelfield House holds the key to Winter's past and to Margaret's acceptance of her own.
The Thirteenth Tale is an engaging mystery. Diane Setterfied has written a very clever plot. Her characters are well-developed, the pacing is just right, and the twists are just amazing. The book also contains some of the most memorable quotes I've read. I couldn't help but read aloud at some points because the lines are just downright beautiful. I'm so glad I was able to finally get a hold of this book. The long wait had been rewarding.
