ONE OF MY FAVOURITE NOVELISTS ... Sarah WATERS
SARAH WATERS changes era in her new novel, The Night Watch (2006), an engrossing tale of four interlocking lives traumatised by World War II and its aftermath, set in an exhausted, bomb-blackened London. With her departure from her Victorian Gothic roots for a more modern mood, specifically wartime London, Waters will surely gain new readers.
