Margaret Lea is a biographer who works in her father's antique book shop gets a mysterious letter from a very famous author Vida Winter who is sick and wants to tell her story. Margaret is skeptical because what is best know of Vida Winter is that during interviews she always lies about her past and very little is known of her other than she is a fabulous writer. While she is deciding if she will infact travel to Ms. Winter's home in the country Margaret begins to read her father’s rare copy of Miss Winter’s Thirteen Tales of Change and Desperation. She is spellbound by the stories and confused when she realizes the book only contains twelve stories. Where is the thirteenth tale? Intrigued, Margaret agrees to meet Miss Winter and act as her biographer.
Once she is in the realm of Ms. Winter she begins not only to discover the truth of Vida but a very dark story that she never could have imagined. This book was so well written and had me guessing all the way to the end.
