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.

“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...

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...

Sarah Waters的最新作品, 前一半还不错, 后一半有些冗长.

如果后面的断案写得那么长是为了让读者对Frances的煎熬感同身受的话,那也确实是达到了预期效果。
