Diana Setterfield's thirteenth tale is a recognized masterpiece of modern English prose, a book that opened up the genre of "neo-gothic" to the general public and made Anglo-American critics talk about the return of the golden age of the British novel, inspired by the names of Charlotte and Emily Brontë and Daphne Du Maurier. Debut novel modest teacher, the rights to which were bought for unprecedented for a novice author money (800 thousand pounds for the British edition, a million dollars - for the American), overtook the sales of bestsellers of recent years, was instantly translated into several dozen languages and was awarded by reviewers the honorary name of the new "Jane Eyre". Margaret Lee works in her father's second-hand bookshop. Modernity, she prefers Dickens and the Brontë sisters. The more surprised Margaret, when she receives from the most famous writer of our days Vida Winter offer to become her biographer. After all, no less than her books, Ms. Winter is famous for the fact that has not yet told a single interviewer a word of truth. And so before Margaret, who finds herself in the walls of a gloomy, haunted mansion, unfolds in the literal sense of the word gothic story of the twin sisters, which strangely echoes her personal history and gradually leads to the solution of the mystery that drove many generations of readers crazy - the mystery of the "Thirteenth Tale".
