Sarah Waters

'The Night Watch is a truthful, lovely book that needs no conjuring tricks to make you want to read it again'

Observer

'The Night Watch leaves you with the sense of having read something rich and complex pared down with consummate skill by a first-class storyteller into a series of deceptively simple tales of love. Which is a fancy way of saying that Sarah Waters's latest offering lingers on, long after the final page and its first, most fateful meeting'

Evening Standard

'Brilliantly done . . . the period detail never overwhelms the simple, passionate human story. It's a tour-de-force of hints, clues and dropped threads'

Independent on Sunday
