SUMMARY:The Thirteenth Tale by: Diane Setterfield
DESCRIPTION:  From Publishers Weekly Former academic Setterfield pays 
	tribute in her debut to Brontë and du Maurier heroines: a plain girl 
	gets wrapped up in a dark\, haunted ruin of a house\, which guards fam
	ily secrets that are not hers and that she must discover at her peril.
	 Margaret Lea\, a London bookseller's daughter\, has written an obscur
	e biography that suggests deep understanding of siblings. She is conta
	cted by renowned aging author Vida Winter\, who finally wishes to tell
	 her own\, long-hidden\, life story. Margaret travels to Yorkshire\, w
	here she interviews the dying writer\, walks the remains of her estate
	 at Angelfield and tries to verify the old woman's tale of a governess
	\, a ghost and more than one abandoned baby. With the aid of colorful 
	Aurelius Love\, Margaret puzzles out generations of Angelfield: destru
	ctive Uncle Charlie\; his elusive sister\, Isabelle\; their unhappy pa
	rents\; Isabelle's twin daughters\, Adeline and Emmeline\; and the chi
	ldren's caretakers. Contending with ghosts and with a (mostly) scary b
	unch of living people\, Setterfield's sensible heroine is\, like Jane 
	Eyre\, full of repressed feeling—and is unprepared for both heartache
	 and romance. And like Jane\, she's a real reader and makes a terrific
	 narrator. That's where the comparisons end\, but Setterfield\, who li
	ves in Yorkshire\, offers graceful storytelling that has its own pleas
	ures.\n
