Book Description     In her spellbinding, Lyrical Debut, Diane Setterfield weaves an evocative tale about two compelling women and their harrowing journey to face the past.          Reclusive author Vida Winter, famous for her collection of twelve enchanting stories - equally as notorious for its missing thirteenth tale - 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 life and the violent and tragic past she has kept secret for so long. Calling on Margaret Lea, a young biographer troubled by her own painful history, Vida delves back in time to the life she meant to bury for good. Margaret is mesmerized by the author's tale of gothic strangeness - but can't ignore her suspicions about Vida's sincerity. She demands the truth from Vida, and together they confront the ghosts that have haunted them while becoming - finally - transformed by the truth themselves.          Book Dimension     length: (cm)19.6 width:(cm)12.1
