Intriguing and well-written. The book is about a book-lover who is commissioned to write a biography of England’s most popular, Vida Winters. I totally got sucked into Setterfield’s world. I thought the ending (spoiler alert!) – the introduction of a third sister – was a bit contrived (kind of the like the ending of I Am Legend, with Will Smith – “hey! there are more people! yay!” – didn’t like that one…). This is only a minor setback, though, and not enough to stop me from recommending it to others.
