Margaret Lea works with her father in his bookshop. She has a deep love of books and some skill as a biographer, but is still surprised when she receives an invitation from the legendary novelist, Vida Winter, to write her biography. Margaret isn't particularly attuned to popular fiction, but finds a copy of Vida Winter's 'Thirteen Tales of Change and Desperation' in the bookshop. She devours the first twelve and then discovers that there is no thirteenth tale. What has happened to it?
