Margaret Lea is a young antiquarian bookseller whose quiet life is turned upside down when the elusive and charismatic writer Vida Winter, nearing the end of her days, commissions her to write her official biography. Margaret travels to the author's isolated mansion in the Yorkshire countryside, where she becomes spellbound by the story of the singular Angelfield family and a mysterious tale that Vida Winter has never wanted to publish. The Thirteenth Tale unravels not only the stormy secrets of a family shrouded in mystery, but also the complex, intense friendship between two women of different generations who, behind the magic of storytelling, find truths about themselves they could never have reached alone.
