Sarah Waters 1st October Micheal Croft Theatre
A literary evening with best-selling, award-winning author Sarah Waters to celebrate the publication of her exquisite new novel The Paying Guests. Sarah will be in conversation with John O’Connell.
Very much a novel of two halves, with the tantalising promise that you want to read this before someone spoils you for what happens to inspire the change. After the First World War, Mrs Wray and her daughter Frances are compelled to take in lodgers to make ends meet. The tension between their genteel way of life and the modern "clerk class" mentality of the Barber's shake up the house in most unexpected ways.
A wonderful new novel from a master of her genre, the period detail is as every impeccable and the characters fizz delightfully off the page.
