The Paying Guests
of Sarah Waters
Description
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 villaâa large, silent house now bereft of brothers, husband, and even servantsâlife 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 âclerk class,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 Francesâs lifeâor, as passions mount and frustration gathers, how far-reaching, and how devastating, the disturbances will be.
