Sarah Waters' second novel, first published in 1999, Affinity
is set in a women's prison in Victorian London.
Disgraced spiritualist Selina Dawes weaves an enigmatic spell. Is she a fraud,
or a prodigy? By the time it all begins to matter, you'll find yourself desperately
wanting to believe in magic.
