I'm on to The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. This is a mystery/ghost story about Vida Winter, a best-selling British writer nearing the end of her life. Throughout the last two years she's given journalists 19 different versions of her background and childhood. Because she is approaching the end of her life, however, Vida decides she wants to hire a woman named Margaret Lea, to write her actual life story. The mystery, however, is if she'll be able to reveal her troubled past and if what she does reveal is true or not. The story itself has been dubbed reminiscient of such novels as Rebecca (which I love) and Jane Eyre (another great classic). I'll let you know how it all turns out. Well, I won't tell you how it turns out but I'll let you know if it's worth the read.
