Sarah Waters tiene 16 eventos antiguos. (show)  Lesbian Reading Group: The Paying Guests Left Bank Books Join us for a reading group discussion The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters! 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.
Parking: Lots one block north and one block east; street parking (meters free after 7pm).

It is gripping, confident, unnerving and supremely entertaining...' (Hilary Mantel). Set in a crumbing pile, The Little Stranger is a sustained metaphor for postwar malaise. Audrey Niffenegger's Her Fearful Symmetry is a deadly 21st century ghost story, featuring mirror-image twins, set in a spooky Highgate Cemetery. They discuss the technique of scaring the pants off their readers and creating an eerie sense of place with Rebecca Swift, Editor, Writer and Director of The Literary Consultancy. (DeadGoodBooks)… (más) Sarah Waters: History’s Darling Sarah WatersTo describe Sarah Waters' work as historical fiction is to acknowledge the redefining and complexity of that genre in contemporary writing. Waters' first novel, Tipping the Velvet, a sexy mystery set within London theatrical and gay subcultures, is both a nod to underground gay fiction and a pastiche of Victorian literary and popular sources. Affinity explores the worlds of the spiritualist and the fraudster amid Victorian prison life, while Fingersmith plays with the conventions of the Victorian novel. More recently Waters has turned her attention to the world of wartime and post-war Britain. In The Night Watch, four troubled characters work to repress secrets and pursue illicit liaisons amid the chaos and displacements of the Blitz. The Little Stranger, a clever riff on the gothic convention, takes place in a crumbling stately home and explores the complexities of class and family relationships in a period of social upheaval. Waters' fiction has earned her a devoted audience and three Man Booker Prize nominations. Join her in conversation with Lennie Goodings.
