The twins' lives are surrounded by dark mysteries involving strange deaths, obsessive loves, incest, and of course, the ghost. She reveals that she was formerly known as Adeline March, and tells the tale of the twins, Adeline and Emmeline. She speaks of her childhood and the estate she grew up on, Angelfield, which long ago was burned and abandoned. Vida Winter's story is an adventure into her own past, full of dark family secrets which she has kept hidden all of her life. Winter provides her with three truths that can be verified and in turn Lea agrees to hear her story. Winter's pleas and promises help to draw Lea in, and by the end of the meeting they've come to an agreement. During their meeting, Lea is convinced to change her mind and accept the offer when Winter promises her a ghost story that involves twin girls. Curious, Lea decides to meet with Winter, and at least decline the offer in person. Lea is surprised by the offer and decides to read Winter's Thirteen Tales of Change and Desperation, in which there are actually only twelve tales. The story begins when Margaret Lea, an amateur biographer, is invited to the home of Vida Winter in order to record her biography before the famous and mysterious novelist succumbs to her terminal illness.
