U Said It

The Thirteenth Tale

By Diane Setterfield

"It's my profession.  I'm a storyteller."

"I am a biographer, I work with facts."

Margaret Lea, a biographer more interested in those long dead than the living, is summoned unexpectedly to transcribe the long-hidden story of Vida Winter, England's most famous living novelist.  As the tale unfolds, Margaret confronts the mysteries of Miss Winter's past and the ghosts of her own.  A tale of twins, lies, and buried secrets, Diane  Setterfield's novel reveals the importance of family and the power of the truth.
