The Paying Guests

The â‚¬Å“volcanically sexyâ‚¬Â (USA Today) Â Â bestseller about a widow and her daughter who take a young couple into their home in 1920s London.
Â
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 villaâ‚¬"a large, silent house now bereft of brothers, husband, and even servantsâ‚¬"life is about to be transformed, as impoverished widow Mrs. Wray and her spinster daughter, Frances, are obliged to take in lodgers.

With the arrival of Lilian and Leonard Barber, a modern young couple of the â‚¬Å“clerk class,â‚¬Â the routines of the house will be shaken up in unexpected ways. Little do the Wrays know just how profoundly their new tenants will alter the course of Francesâ‚¬s lifeâ‚¬"or, as passions mount and frustration gathers, how far-reaching, and how devastating, the disturbances will be.

Short-listed for the Man Booker Prize three times,Â Sarah Waters has earned a reputation as one of our greatest writers of historical fiction.
