Audies (2007)
Studious biographer Margaret Lea is shocked when she receives a letter from renowned novelist, Vida Winter. The inimitable Winter is aging and ill, and she beseeches Margaret to come to her home and hear her story. It is the unforgettable tale of the doomed and beautiful Angelfield family, and Lea is immediately as captivated by the account as she is by her extraordinary storyteller. But she is also skeptical, and becomes determined to discover how much of this tragic story is real. As Margaret gets closer to ascertaining the truth, she must also reconcile her own hidden family secrets. Beautifully atmospheric and haunting, this inspired first novel is reminiscent of classic works such as "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights," and is certain to take its place among them as a timeless masterpiece.

Recenzii

Cleverly plotted, beautifully written homage to the classic romance mystery novel...It is a remarkable first novel, a book about the joy of books, a riveting multi-layered mystery that twists and turns, and weaves a quite magical spell
Beautifully written and highly intelligent. Blissful escapism for literate (and literary) females who love an old-fashioned story
A real treat...Like all the best first novels, this one seems to bulge with a lifetime's hoarded inspirations. Setterfield litters the book with references to nineteenth-century gothic literature and other meta-textual winks and nudges. The effect is of a lit-crit parlour game, which only adds to the fun
Whimsical, moving and consciously nostalgic, Diane Setterfield knows the limits of enchantment, even as she tries to break them
This bold, unusual debut is, as a Jane Austen character might have said, a vastly entertaining fiction
Setterfield proves a mistress of the craft of storytelling and her musings about the pleasures of reading are beguiling
Guiltily enjoyable
A witty, entertaining and very satisfying read
Make yourself a mug of cocoa and shut the curtains tight - a generous helping of gothic delight is about to be served
A remarkably compelling debut...This is an extraordinary, unusual and atmospheric story with a sense of timelessness about it. It is rare to be able to smell a book as well as read it, but this one is steeped in the aroma of old houses in remote places with strange faded furnishings and little natural light. It will appeal to anybody with a love of literature and a passion for the feel and smell of old books
Brilliantly written - recommended
A dark mystery in the vein of Daphne du Maurier about family secrets and the potency of storytelling
Compelling page-turner
A page-turner of a Gothic mystery
Setterfield establishes, from the very first page, one of those narrative voices which you trust implicitly, warming to its calm understated authority
THE THIRTEENTH TALE is the sort of novel they don't write any more, which makes it all the more welcome. Add to this Setterfield's remarkable imagination coupled with her literate style and you have the makings of a modern classic
This is an excellent emotional mystery which I found harder to put down every night!
Setterfield writes evocatively and assuredly
Setterfield is a master of pacing
The moorland romances of the Brontes and Daphne du Maurier are never far away from our vision of a perfect Christmas read. Draw up a chair, then, for debut novelist Diane Setterfield. It's a windswept feast of abandoned babies, incestuous siblings and feral twins
Simply brilliant - I haven't enjoyed a first novel so much for absolutely ages
Start reading this on the bus and, I swear, you won't only miss your stop, you might even lose the whole day
Vastly entertaining
