The book has everything – a tangled story, many secrets and mysteries, a little mysticism, a detective investigation, which is connected with twins Adeline and Emmeline March. The theme of literature and books teaches readers to appreciate this kind of art. In addition, their tenderness in relation to their favorite works and writing is a pleasure for any reader, who appreciates the literature. To put it differently, two key figures of the novel are inextricably connected with the books. The leading heroine Margaret Lea decides to write a biography of the popular writer Vida Winter. The main action really develops in the literary sphere in the book. It is enough to say that this is a story in the second story, as a mosaic in a kaleidoscope periodically makes a smooth movement and makes up a new figure of already familiar elements, helps the reader to look at the overall picture from a new, unique side. The Thirteenth Tale is one of those novels for which discussion of the plot of which is not only useless, but also dangerous – you can just confuse or frighten off the potential reader. The book is “turned inside out”, because the Beginning, the Plot Development and the Denouement, which are usually should be hidden in the plot and readers will have to find them during reading, are directly defined by the author.
That is why Setterfield called the novel The Thirteenth Tale, as well as the non-existent thirteenth story from the edition of fairy tales of the heroine Vida Winter. It seems all the reviews promise a family saga against the backdrop of a huge number of books, but they do not tell the whole truth. This book is exceptional because you expect from it quite a different impression and emotion than you get in the upshot. The Thirteenth Tale is a novel in the Gothic style, which was written by Diane Setterfield. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
