The Paying Guests, by Sarah Waters Set in 1922 London, veterans are disillusioned and tensions in the city are mounting, a widowed mother and her daughter begin hosting tenants and with them comes a modern young couple. Their presence introduces lively elements and unsettles the politics of the Wray household. And if you've read Waters, you know that these changes might involve criminality, suspense and passion. I feel like Sarah Waters must be read in fall and winter - there's something extremely cozy while unnerving about her books. This paperback edition is in good used condition, no notes or highlighting :) #literature #novel #fiction #historical #DepopSweepstakes
