From the bestselling author of The Little Stranger and Fingersmith, an enthralling novel about a widow and her daughter who take a young couple into their home in 1920s London.
It is 1922, and London is tense. Ex-servicemen are disillusioned; the out-of-work and the hungry are demanding change. And in South London, in a genteel Camberwell villa—a large, silent house now bereft of brothers, husband, and even servants—life is about to be transformed as impoverished widow Mrs. Wray and her spinster daughter, Frances, are obliged to take in lodgers.
With the arrival of Lilian and Leonard Barber, a modern young couple of the “clerk class,” the routines of the house will be shaken up in unexpected ways. Little do the Wrays know just how profoundly their new tenants will alter the course of Frances’s life—or, as passions mount and frustration gathers, how far-reaching, and how devastating, the disturbances will be.
Short-listed for the Man Booker Prize three times, Sarah Waters has earned a reputation as one of our greatest writers of historical fiction, and here she has delivered again. A love story, a tension-filled crime story, and a beautifully atmospheric portrait of a fascinating time and place, The Paying Guests is Sarah Waters’s finest achievement yet.
Sarah Waters was born in Wales in 1966 and lives in London. Author of Tipping the Velvet, Affinity, Fingersmith and The Night Watch, her most recent book is The Little Stranger.

Fingersmith and The Night Watch were both shortlisted for the Man Booker and Orange prizes, and Fingersmith won the CWA Ellis Peters Dagger Award for Historical Crime Fiction and the South Bank Show Award for Literature. Tipping the Velvet, Affinity and Fingersmith have all been adapted for television.
The Little Stranger was a bestselling hardback and was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.
從一開始的平靜,到中間的爆發,到後麵的煎熬,華老師再一次用事無巨細的細節描寫和心理描寫徵服瞭我。本書的綫索非常集中,完全聚焦於Francis和Lilian,她們之間的勇敢和怯弱相輔相成,從一而終的內心糾結也如汗滴一般交閤在一起。從中間開始進入的《罪與罰》模式非常有趣,愛情究竟會有多堅固?需要多勇敢?需要付齣多少?至少在我看來Francis是徹底沒救瞭,她的勇敢全部轉移到瞭Lilian身上,一滴不剩。

华老师的盛名在这里就不多作赘述了。 她的小说,你读的越多,越会发现她是属于“套路很深”的那一类作家。她熟悉并掌握所有可以吊人胃口的套路,却从不令我讨厌,相反还很是受用。 《房客》的第一个看点,综合了小说简介,自然是“且看这俩女的咋搞起来”。 小说里,弗朗西丝和...
