戴安娜·賽特菲爾德(Diane Setterfield),現年四十多歲,原本研究法國文學,是安德烈·紀德專傢。在英國的中學、大學教書,定居約剋郡。
她在1999年對教學感厭倦,毅然放下教鞭,寫起小說來。不過寫作生涯殊不容易,她開始時曾因寫作進度停滯不前而放棄,與丈夫過著節儉的生活。她其後從創意寫作課程重獲靈感和啓發,終寫成其首部小說《第十三個故事》。
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.

評分書中,作為一位積年纍月編織故事的大作傢,維達·溫特敘述的自己經曆開頭仍然像一個故事。 “從前有一幢鬧鬼的房子……” “從前有一座圖書館……” “從前有一對雙胞胎……” 莫說,所有引人入勝的好故事都有著這樣的開頭。每一個人也都有過這樣的童年,...
評分很久以前我對某個作傢朋友宣稱,我要寫一個女人始終在說謊的故事,她在城市裏生活的每一個部分、每一個場閤都是信口鬍說。他質疑我的動機,我解釋說,那是因為她人生的無聊和空洞所決定的,她需要謊言、抑或說虛構來填充。也許是他接二連三的反詰太多瞭,也許是我本人缺乏虛構...
