The Paying Guests
shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction
Sinopsis
A page-turning melodrama and a fascinating portrait of London on the verge of great changeGuardian
It is 1922, and in a hushed south London villa life is about to be transformed, as genteel widow Mrs Wray and her discontented daughter Frances are obliged to take in lodgers. Lilian and Leonard Barber, a modern young couple of the clerk class, bring with them gramophone music, colour, fun - and dangerous desires. The most ordinary of lives, it seems, can explode into passion and drama... A love story that is also a crime story, this is vintage Sarah Waters.
