具体描述
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.
For 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. And as passions mount and frustration gathers, no one can foresee just how far-reaching, and how devastating, the disturbances will be...
This is vintage Sarah Waters: beautifully described with excruciating tension, real tenderness, believable characters, and surprises. It is above all, a wonderful, compelling story.

读后感
这本书和华老师前几本相比，意外的容易读，不过我还是惯性的以不着调的节奏，今天看一点，明天看一点，直到30%才进入状态，而看到50%的时候就进入秉烛夜读的模式一晚上看完了，虽然最后10%看得有点痛苦。 不知道是不是这一部看得格外带入的关系，中间虽然情节并没有太出乎意料...
评分 评分 评分“你已经勇敢了，那就再勇敢一点”，书里的主角之一这样说，而且一而再，再而三的这样说。这样说的意思，你知道，就是勇敢已经在打折扣了。她对自己面临的状况有这样的描述：我看见眼前有两条路，可它们都是黑暗的。怎么选，仿佛都是绝路。 这话出自法兰西斯，她是《房客》的...

1.Oakura LBR第一读。文盲一个月看完500页原来也是可能的。2.真的是喜欢不起两位主角哦，讨人厌的懦弱跟我一样一样的。
评分朗读者的口齿最近不知不觉对我有一定的正音效果。故事开头跟Sarah Waters 其他几本有雷同的情节，让我略感倦怠。后面的走向有点不同，作者似乎意图让人物变得更为复杂，但处理得不够成熟，类似《小小陌生人》的写法，不可靠的主要人物和复杂的心理变化，可能是一本过渡阶段的作品吧？
评分被华老师折磨的百转千回，累死了。
评分故事虽然简单，但在华老师笔下还是足够波动起伏。提前了解了后来的基调，怕落差太大怀着十分克制的心态读前两部分，依然被甜的肝颤。结果呢？看完只剩叹息。蓝过！
