Synopsis
¿Dónde está la verdad?
La historia más importante de su vida era la que nunca había escrito. Entre mentiras, recuerdos e imaginación se teje la vida de la señora Winter, una famosa novelista ya muy entrada en años que pide ayuda a Margaret, una mujer joven y amante de los libros, para contar por fin la historia de su misterioso pasado.
«Cuénteme la verdad», pide Margaret, pero la verdad duele, y solo el día en que Vida Winter muera sabremos qué secretos encerraba El cuento número trece, una historia que nadie se había atrevido a escribir.
Después de cinco años de intenso trabajo, Diane Setterfield ha logrado el aplauso de los lectores y el respeto de los críticos con una primera novela que pronto se convertirá en un clásico.
«El cuento número trece es un espléndido homenaje a la mejor literatura del siglo XIX, de La mujer de blanco a Rebecca, y muy especialmente Jane Eyre: todos los elementos de la novela gótica y de misterio están ahí, y Setterfield ha sabido combinarlos con maestría.» - The Independent
«El cuento número trece es un libro que nos devuelve el amor por la lectura.» - The Spectator
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Instant #1 New York Times bestseller
“Readers will feel the magnetic pull of this paean to words, books and the magical power of story.”—People
“Eerie and fascinating.”—USA TODAY
Sometimes, when you open the door to the past, what you confront is your destiny.
Reclusive author Vida Winter, famous for her collection of twelve enchanting stories, has spent the past six decades penning a series of alternate lives for herself. Now old and ailing, she is ready to reveal the truth about her extraordinary existence and the violent and tragic past she has kept secret for so long.
Calling on Margaret Lea, a young biographer troubled by her own painful history, Vida disinters the life she meant to bury for good. Margaret is mesmerized by the author's tale of gothic strangeness—featuring the beautiful and willful Isabelle, the feral twins Adeline and Emmeline, a ghost, a governess, a topiary garden and a devastating fire.
Together, Margaret and Vida confront the ghosts that have haunted them while becoming, finally, transformed by the truth themselves.
