comment
The Thirteenth Tale is a 2006 novel written by Diane Setterfield. The story is about Margaret Lea, an unassuming young biographer who lives with her bookstore owner father. One day she receives a letter from Vida Winter, one of the most prolific and well loved writers alive. Vida Winter has spent all of her public life inventing various stories about her past, but she's close to death, and has chosen Margaret to write the true story of her youth. Margaret has never read any of her books before, and so initially decides to turn her offer down, but after reading some of Vida Winter's books, reconsiders.What follows is a story of incest, of child abuse and neglect, of a once rich and prosperous family slowly decaying, and the story of two twin girls: Adeline and Emmeline. Margaret becomes entranced by her tale, but finds that as the story is told the truth about Vida Winter's past becomes more and more shrouded in mystery.The title comes from the first book that Vida Winter ever published - Thirteen Tales of Change and Desperation, which only contained twelve stories. The title of subsequent editions of the book was Tales of Change and Desperation, but that didn't stop readers from wanting to know what had happened to that thirteenth tale and what it was about.The book was adapted into a film in 2013, starring Olivia Colman as Margaret and Vanessa Redgrave as Vida. Sophie Turner and Antonia Clarke played Adeline and Emmeline.

Creator Breakdown: In-universe, this is why Vida never finished or published her thirteenth tale; it was a retelling of her birth and abandonment, which ended with a toddler left at the estate of her mother's rapist.

The Unsolved Mystery
 The Thirteenth Tale / int_1181a575
comment
The Unsolved Mystery: Margaret never figures out how the treasure box was taken safely from the house. Likewise, the true parentage of the twins is left ambiguous (was the father Roland or Charlie, making Vida their half-sister instead of their cousin?) and though it's heavily implied that it was Emmeline who died in the fire, there is plenty of evidence to support the theory that it was Adeline. Furthermore, Vida never finds out who her mother is. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out which twin died in the fire, as Emmeline had given birth no more than a few months before the fire...

comment
Unreliable Narrator: Both in and out of universe. Vida has a reputation for lying to people about her life story, so much so that Margaret refuses to work on this project without independently verifiable sources. Also, certain details of Vida's story raise questions for the reader such as whether it was Emmeline or Adeline she saved.

comment
Wild Child: Adeline and Emmeline don't grow up in the wilderness raised by animals, but the fact that neither was really "raised" by anyone at all makes them both quite feral in many ways. Emmeline has the innocence often associated with this, though Adeline's ferocity turns out to be pure psychopathy.

comment
Only Sane Man: John-the-dig and Vida as a girl-child, especially considering that Missus becomes blind and raving as time goes by. The film expands on this when John-the-dig emphasizes that the girls were more likely to attack Mrs. Mordesley than Isabelle, even if they have an alibi supposedly. In Margaret's story, Dr. Clifton qualifies. Hester presents herself as one in her diary, but this could be conflated arrogance due to her intellect.

 The Thirteenth Tale / int_2dae4381
comment
My Master, Right or Wrong: Deconstructed. John-the-dig and Missus are the only servants left in the house because they aren't afraid of Charlie, or the twins. That means they reluctantly go along with whatever Charlie, the doctor, or Hester say, even if it's not in the girls' best interest, as shown when John-the-dig in the film helps separate them but says it won't end well. It means that the twins come to no longer trust either adult. It's implied that them being firmer with Vida helped her become more normal because she wasn't allowed to run free, and them hiding her from everyone meant they could control her upbringing.

Parental Incest: It's implied that George Angelfield at least had a sexual interest in his daughter. Certainly, when she ran off, his reaction was more like a spurned lover than a father.

Kids Are Cruel

comment
Kids Are Cruel: Emmeline and Adeline have zero empathy for other people and casually destroy precious things and endanger infants, though later discoveries about their personalities suggest that the extremely passive and harmless Emmeline likely went along with it out of thoughtlessness, with Adeline being the sadist. Averted with Vida, who causes no harm while in the house apart from Green-Eyed Monster moments.

Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: When Adeline and Emmeline were children, they stole Mary Jameson's baby, who was in a stroller and let it run loose down a hill. This is portrayed in the film, with the baby crying in pain. This, in fact, was why the doctor and Hester got involved with the girls. Adeline nearly burns Emmeline's baby alive while the latter is sleeping. Vida has to intervene to save her nephew.

Didn't Think This Through: Mrs. Mordesley goes along to Angelfield to notify the parents about Adeline and Emmeline injuring a baby. She starts getting creeped out by how the house is so empty and cluttered; instead of turning around and leaving, perhaps coming with her husband, she keeps going deeper inside. This means she's alone when someone in white attacks her.

Mass "Oh, Crap!": In the film, Charlie, Missus, and John-the-dig share this expression when they see Isabelle appear in white, and Dr. Mordesley sees the scars on her arm. John-the-dig was before saying it was most likely the girls who had attacked the doctor's wife, but Mrs. Mordesley logically points out the girls were outside at the time. Thus, the evidence seems to implicate Isabelle.

Adults Are Useless: The girls' mother and uncle pay no attention to the twins; John-the-dig and Missus do their best but they are getting older and have duties in the house. Soon enough, the girls kidnap a baby and injure it by putting the stroller down a hill. Then a local doctor intervenes because Adeline and Vida could be labeled as public menaces. The experiment to separate the girls was to ostensibly rehabilitate them before they committed serious harm. As Vida recalls, the doctor and Hester were so absorbed in their research that they ignored the obvious: the girls were missing each other and getting worse, not better.

Don't Split Us Up: Charlie didn't react well to the doctor sending Isabelle to the asylum, so much that when they find Charles has gone, and Vida finds his body, John-the-dig vows to tell no one because the doctor could send the Missus away just as easily. Adeline and Emmeline react very badly to being separated. Vida helps Emmeline through this, though. Vida later has this with Emmeline.

Hope Spot: Things seem to calm down after Charlie dies. John-the-dig takes over parenting the girls, hires a boy to help out in the yard while he takes care of the house and even gives Vida a topiary lesson. They even bond together as she starts trimming with caution. Adeline then kills John-the-dig for the crime of showing Vida some attention, and said boy gets Emmeline pregnant.

What the Hell, Hero?: As children, Adeline and her twin Emmeline completely destroy John-the-dig's garden, leaving him heartbroken. The Missus too doesn't understand, and demands the girls explain why they did it. As it turns out, Vida had nothing to do with this and in fact helps John restore the garden. Margaret to Vida for abandoning Aurelius, even though Vida knows that it's like to be abandoned.

Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: Downplayed with Dr. Mordesley, who immediately sent off Isabelle to the asylum for ostensibly attacking his wife (which is understandable if an abrupt course of action). With Hester they concocted an experiment to rehabilitate the twins by separating them, without paying mind to the twins' mutual Heroic BSoD. Vida subtly chews him out for this later when she has to go to him for help after John-the-dig's death.

Reasonable Authority Figure
 The Thirteenth Tale / int_dca70c44
comment
Reasonable Authority Figure: Mrs. Mordesley, believe it or not. She's established as a gossip, but she wants to go in and talk to the girls' mother about them injuring a baby, perhaps gently convincing them to hire a governess. When someone attacks her, she's adamant it wasn't the twins based on pure logic: they were outside at the time, or at least either Vida or Adeline was with Emmeline. Later, she's willing to take in Adeline, a wild child, for humoring her husband's experiments, in the hopes of reforming her. Mrs. Mordesley puts her foot down when she catches Hester and the doctor kissing in Adeline's room, and tells them both off. While this led to Hester leaving, Dr. Mordesley knows she's right and spends the rest of his wife's life making it up to her. The Angelfield attorney is also this. He helps the doctor arrange for a governess when the girls get in trouble and is relieved when a visibly-older Adeline can talk to him about John-the-dig's death and her uncle's whereabouts, as well as who will take care of the girls. It was actually Vida, but the point still stands.

Mama Bear: Missus and John-the-dig hide Vida from Charlie and Isabelle, knowing that they would have cast her out as being evidence of Charlie's rapes. Later, they refuse to tell Hester or the doctor about the third child in the house, for worries she'd be taken away with no legal guardian. When Adeline threatens Emmeline's baby, Emmeline goes on the attack for the first time in her life. Vida intervenes when Adeline tries to burn Emmeline's child alive. She quickly fetches him from the fireplace, wraps him in a blanket, and calms him down before taking him to a house nearby and leaving him on the doorstep. She then goes back after the fire to make sure the person answering the door actually takes him in; in the film it's implied if no one had, Vida would have fetched Aurelius back.
