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.

我简直就快要崩溃了。 用一整晚的时间看一个故事，我想要得到的并不是这样的结局。 自然不是说故事的结局——那已经和我没有任何关系，我甚至都不能确定自己是否真的读到了故事的结局。 当无力的合上书页时，我想，我不喜欢。 我不会像以往那样热情洋溢的四处推荐，又或者假惺...

the English version is really good~~~though somebody said that the writer tried to imitate other famous writer's style, yet it is a remarkable Gothic novel.
