Margaret Lea is hired to wite the biography of best-selling author Vida Winter. Winter has made a habit of telling widely different tales of her life to interviewers, but now she is dying, and wants to tell her true story. She picks Margaret Lea to tell it to, a reclusive bookstore clerk who is herself emotionally damaged.
The tale takes many emotional twists and is full of revelations about the past. Winter was a twin - or was she? Her twin is dead - or is she?
I was disappointed when I finished the book to find that Setterfield has not yet written another novel. More! I want more!

This is on my TBR shelf. I got it as part of the Book Passage 1st Editions club, so did not pick it myself and had no idea what it is about. Your review makes me actually want to read it -- thanks!
