When Margaret, an amateur biographer, is invited to interview and write the biography of a renowned author who is now quite elderly, she cannot turn it down, though the circumstances, mysterious to begin with, grow ever more so when she arrives at the home of Miss Vida Winter. The tale that Miss Winter embarks upon is ethereal, ghostly and cryptic, yet the ends all come together nicely at the book's finale.
I very much enjoyed this twisting, turning story, although it was a bit strange in some ways and had some elements that I thought should either be explained further or left out. It is definitely worth the read, in fact it is one that keeps the reader musing between reading sessions and long after the final page has been turned.
