Book description
Get ready to be haunted. Diane Setterfield's The Thirteenth Tale isn't just a book-it's a whisper in your ear, perfect for audiobook magic. Vida Winter, the reclusive author with a past buried deeper than the Angelfield estate, finally wants to tell her truth. She summons Margaret Lea, a biographer wrestling with her own hidden origins. What unfolds is a gothic tapestry: feral twins, a ghostly governess, a topiary garden, and a fire that changed everything. The mystery of the missing thirteenth tale? It's the hook, but the real spell is in the how. Setterfield's prose, read aloud, becomes a slow, seductive unraveling. You'll lean in, breathless, as Vida's secrets surface-each word a creak on old floorboards, each pause a heartbeat in the dark. The audiobook's intimacy is everything. You hear the weight in Margaret's hesitation, the flicker of Vida's guarded past. It's not just storytelling; it's a feeling. You'll laugh at the wit, cry over the loss, and feel that shiver when truth finally hits. Setterfield doesn't just tell a story-she makes you live it, voice to ear, in the quiet of your own space. That final, quiet moment? Pure, earned catharsis. You'll emerge from the listening, not just satisfied, but transformed. For every reader who ever lost themselves in a story that felt like home, this is the gift. The Thirteenth Tale is the audiobook you'll want to listen to again and again, chasing that perfect, haunting rhythm. β¨ #TheThirteenthTale #AudiobookMagic #GothicLit #BookishHeaven #SetterfieldSavesTheDay
