Synopsis
In this delicious, mind-bending, modern Gothic mystery, famous author Vida Winter has given countless fictional versions of her own life, confounding her biographers. However, at the end of her life, she contacts young Margaret Lea, who comes to the sprawling Angelfield estate in Yorkshire, and begins the task of figuring out fact from fiction, truth from shadow. As Vida's dark history unfurls, it becomes clear that it shares eerie similarities to Margaret's own. Both women have morbid pasts that come back to haunt them, both figuratively and literally.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: ""It was November. Although it was not yet late, the sky was dark when I turned into Laundress Passage. Father had finished for the day, switched off the shop lights and closed the shutters; but so I would not come home to darkness he had left on the light over the stairs to the flat. Through the glass in the door it cast a foolscap rectangle of paleness onto the wet pavement, and it was while I was standing in that rectangle, about to turn my key in the door, that I first saw the letter.""
Industry Reviews
"[Diane] Setterfield has crafted an homage to the romantic heroines of du Maurier, Collins and the Bronte's. It is a contemporary gothic tale whose excesses...can be forgiven for the thrill of the storytelling." [Starred review.]
(07/15/2006)
"Whimsical, moving, and consciously nostalgic, Diane Setterfield knows the limits of enchantment, even as she tries to break them."
