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.

Born in Englefield, Berkshire in 1964, Diane spent most of her childhood in the nearby village of Theale.

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.

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.
具體描述
讀後感
这部小说很取巧的视角让人很容易就进入作者的世界 在书外，是读者和作者 在书里，也是读者和作者 最终促使我买下这本书的原因是 中间的一句话： “在中学的时候学到的查理大帝，想到小时候阅读到的查理大帝，这个查理大帝 是我的查理大帝吗？ 两个世界碰撞在一起。。。” 一下...
評分《第十三个故事》带给我一段奇妙的阅读过程，非常奇妙，它和现实毫无关系，是一种纯粹的阅读沉迷，但它的故事空间和吸力又比较庞大，所以造成一种和白天的现实生活（我通畅只在晚上看书）相平行（完全没有交集且距离很遥远），甚至相对抗的力量，而这次我一改往常的稳扎现实世...
評分怎么说呢，从看《风之影》开始，连着很多部都是这样一个模式，通过文字来探索以前的真相。看多了，有点腻了，其实故事本身就不错的话，没有必要再兜这么一个圈子了，知道过去......回想起来并不那么有意义。 骂归骂，自己很喜欢那对孪生姐妹的故事，生则同存、死则共亡。特别...
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...
評分不久前奥地利爆出一桩丑闻，一个父亲将女儿囚虐在地下室中长达24年之久，并与之生下了7个孩子。多年来该男子一直对外宣称女儿失踪，尽管曾有外人感觉出地下室的异常，但直到两人所生的孩子因重病送医时，该男子不慎露出马脚，才使这一撼人的秘密被揭开。 同样在最近，克罗地亚...

這可咋整啊。看瞭開頭就能猜到中間，看瞭一半就能猜到結尾。我以後讀小說可咋讀啊。這也算哥特小說？？？？？？

评分聽完瞭縮減版，確實有點歌特風，但是聽得不投入，所以感覺也很一般。
评分作者一再暗示，於是當謎底揭開再驚人的醜聞也不那麼令人驚訝。隻是Adeline，怎麼會有人從小如此憤怒？
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。
