…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.’

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.

讀後感
紧赶慢赶的看完了《第十三个故事》，，怎么说呢，，有点虎头蛇尾的感觉，，为什么这么说，是因为作者在前面抖的包袱太多，留的伏笔太多，作的扣太多，，当我带着这么多的疑问翻到最后一页的时候，，我有点没反应过来，，就这么结束啦。。。 如果从序言和介绍来说，这本书的...
評分“从前有一栋闹鬼的房子……” “从前有一座图书馆……” “从前有一对双胞胎……” 当一个成功的小说家连续变换了三个开头才挽留住她的聆听者，这的确是个不同寻常的场景。维达•温特是一位浑身是谜的畅销书作家，关于她的过去，由她本人流传出的无数个版本...
評分我简直就快要崩溃了。 用一整晚的时间看一个故事，我想要得到的并不是这样的结局。 自然不是说故事的结局——那已经和我没有任何关系，我甚至都不能确定自己是否真的读到了故事的结局。 当无力的合上书页时，我想，我不喜欢。 我不会像以往那样热情洋溢的四处推荐，又或者假惺...
評分 評分用了两个整整晚上读这本朋友推荐的中文书，连续读，连续，连上班的一天，都似乎在想：双胞胎姐妹之间，究竟有一种什么样的不同凡响的情素？ 昨天读的时候，很兴奋，很紧张，尤其是解说AS身世的时候，故事很紧。 女人的书，常常能将故事讲得有血有肉；但《风之影》很丰满，有...

评分A good story taler but a plain story.
评分Ain't sure why. Just like it so very much.
评分2013.4.6 09年開始有事沒事的看。文筆不錯，但是意識流似的故事進展緩慢，像極瞭肚子裏沒貨的作傢的拖延術。但是遣詞用句，支綫編織又是正點科班齣身的架子，因為story這詞幾乎被所有MFA的學生視若珍寶。故事有些地方讓人動容，也有不少地方讓人毛骨悚然。歸根結底，還是有點稚嫩，比如Aurelius這個人物，以及一些對白，總覺得不倫不類，雖然被寫得小心翼翼。對我來說，讀完這本09年就開始看的書，最後的樂趣也僅在填坑讀完而已瞭。
