The film tells of a attractive red haired elderly, cranky, dying woman laying on couch in big rambling house. She is telling her memoirs to a (reluctant at first) young woman writer. The elderly lady has two red haired sisters, one is a ghost like love child - but we do not know about the existence of the third red head child until the end of the film.
I watched it last year and would love to see if there is a book, which would go into more depth…

Sounds somewhat like The curious Case of Benjamin Buttons. The red haired lady dying having a daughter read from her diary stories and they were estranged. Things come out over the course but it tells a story in the middle. Not sure if this is it.

Is it this one? The Thirteenth Tale (2013) – I haven’t seen the film but I read the book it was based on and the plot was almost exactly like what you described.
