This debut novel by Setterfield was absolutely outstanding. The plot, pace and content was second to none. Following the story of Vida Winters an ill and dying best selling authoress the main character Margaret begins to discover all is not what it seemed. It has quite a Gothic feel to it and an air of mystery that keeps you turning the pages. I felt like the way she described reading hit the nail on the head for me, the importance of words, no matter how long the writer has been dead their words will live on. Born as a conjoined twin herself, and grieving the death of her sister she was never to know about Margaret feels an affinity to the story of Vida Winters, but all is not as it seems. I hope To read more of her novels when she produces some more to see if they live up to this one. I certainly hope so!
