Description
'A page-turning melodrama and a fascinating portrait of London on the verge of great change' GuardianIt 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.
