Book Description
In her spellbinding, Lyrical Debut, Diane Setterfield weaves an evocative tale about two compelling women and their harrowing journey to face the past.
Reclusive author Vida Winter, famous for her collection of twelve enchanting stories - equally as notorious for its missing thirteenth tale - 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 life 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 delves back in time to the life she meant to bury for good. Margaret is mesmerized by the author's tale of gothic strangeness - but can't ignore her suspicions about Vida'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.

评分《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...
评分在豆瓣的外国文学小组,有一个长期位于前三位的帖子,它说,“大家都来说说是哪本书让你掉进外国文学这个坑里的”。每一个加入小组的人都乐于给出自己简单的答案,哪怕已经过了很久,仍是记忆犹新的样子。我想,对于大多数人来说,大概都是这样的吧,因为遇见了一本书,喜欢上...
评分 评分很久以前我对某个作家朋友宣称,我要写一个女人始终在说谎的故事,她在城市里生活的每一个部分、每一个场合都是信口胡说。他质疑我的动机,我解释说,那是因为她人生的无聊和空洞所决定的,她需要谎言、抑或说虚构来填充。也许是他接二连三的反诘太多了,也许是我本人缺乏虚构...
