Sometimes, when you open the door to the past, what you
confront is your destiny. Reclusive author Vida Winter, famous
for her collection of twelve enchanting stories, has spent the
past six decades penning a series of alternate lives for
herself. Now old and ailing, she is ready to reveal the truth
about her extraordinary existence and the violent and tragic
past she has kept secret for so long. Calling on Margaret Lea,
she is mesmerized by the author's tale of gothic
strangeness—featuring the beautiful and willful Isabelle, the
feral twins Adeline and Emmeline, a ghost, a governess, a
topiary garden and a devastating fire. Together, Margaret and
Vida confront the ghosts that have haunted them while becoming,
finally, transformed by the truth themselves.
Characters: 35. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
