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' 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' finest achievement yet.
Sarah Waters is the bestselling author of Tipping the Velvet, Affinity, Fingersmith, and The Night Watch. Winner of many literary awards, she has been shortlisted for both the Man Booker and Orange Prizes. She lives in London.

評分如果後麵的斷案寫得那麼長是為瞭讓讀者對Frances的煎熬感同身受的話,那也確實是達到瞭預期效果。

熟悉华老师作品的人一定知道,她的书,常常是抓马非凡----所以这次也是不例外。 不同于维多利亚三部曲,这本书是在一战后的英国。熟悉西方历史的便知道,一战过后,虽然英国算是战赢,但战争带来的,总是伤痕累累,无论输赢。这本书的设定是20世纪20年代,也就是说,不久西方...
