这本书已经静静躺在那里两周了,由于某些原因,我没有心情翻开它。这天,我想是时候来完成这件事了,不出所料是一个畅快淋漓的故事,读到高潮时,窗外突然狂风暴雨,伴随阵阵闪电,而结束它时又是一切归于宁静,如故事的结尾般仿佛什么也没有发生。 双胞胎、荒宅、家庭女教师、...
评分我简直就快要崩溃了。 用一整晚的时间看一个故事,我想要得到的并不是这样的结局。 自然不是说故事的结局——那已经和我没有任何关系,我甚至都不能确定自己是否真的读到了故事的结局。 当无力的合上书页时,我想,我不喜欢。 我不会像以往那样热情洋溢的四处推荐,又或者假惺...
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...
评分书中,作为一位积年累月编织故事的大作家,维达·温特叙述的自己经历开头仍然像一个故事。 “从前有一幢闹鬼的房子……” “从前有一座图书馆……” “从前有一对双胞胎……” 莫说,所有引人入胜的好故事都有着这样的开头。每一个人也都有过这样的童年,...

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.

the English version is really good~~~though somebody said that the writer tried to imitate other famous writer's style, yet it is a remarkable Gothic novel.
