"The Thirteenth Tale" is for you!
The story takes place in a very old London bookstore where does that passionate venture of rare editions and old books.
The story is reminiscent of Louis Carlos Zafon in "Shadow of the Wind" that I also loved.
It is in this library qu'officient Margaret Lea and her father.
Margaret soon as we understand suffering that some call "personality disorders" or that others call "secret wound." For this young woman very withdrawn and lonely is not engaged. A mystery surrounds her ...
But his life will change dramatically when a Vida Winter "star of literature" feeling his last moment come, uses it to write his biography. The real ... ... not who she has repeatedly told reporters.
Why choose so shy as biographer Margaret Lea? Because she already wrote some biographies of famous people such as the Goncourt brothers what seems to have really liked "the star of the literature."
But then, Margaret is more comfortable with the dead than the living! She who so afraid of the living, not to interview!
So she initially refuses the tempting offer of Vida Winter before yielding to curiosity ... and go to the mansion full of mysteries of the star, very sick, about to take his final bow.
So it's a dying Vida Winter who will tell her how her incredible life littered with dramas and mysteries, delivering his secrets in dribs and drabs.
The confrontation between the colorful character of bestselling author and biographer shy and introverted allow Margaret to lift a veil on his own and riddles Vida Winter finally finding some relief in the twilight of his life so dramatic .
A captivating writing (The style is absolutely wonderful ...)
A carefully maintained pending (doubtful dead disorders loves, strange behavior, ghosts of the past, etc ...)
This is a brillantissime book that I highly recommend !!!
