| Zusammenfassung: | "Moving back through the 1940s, through air raids, blacked-out streets, illicit partying, and sexual adventure, to end with its beginning in 1941, The Night Watch tells the story of four Londoners - three women and a young man with a past - whose lives, and those of their friends and lovers, connect in sometimes surprising ways. In wartime London, the women work - as ambulance drivers, ministry clerks, and building inspectors. There are feats of heroism, epic and quotidian, and tragedies both enormous and personal." "Sarah Waters describes the taut composure of a rescue worker in the aftermath of a bombing, the idle longing of a young woman for her soldier lover, the peculiar thrill of a convict watching the sky ignite through the bars on his window, the hunger of a woman prowling the streets for an encounter, and the panic of another who sees her love affair coming to an end."--BOOK JACKET. |

Sarah
three novels set in Victorian London, returns
with a novel that marks a departure from
the nineteenth century. Moving back through
the
streets, illicit liaisons, sexual adventure, to end
with its beginning in
is the work of a truly brilliant and
compelling storyteller.
This is the story of four Londoners
women and a young man with a past —drawn
with absolute truth and intimacy. Kay, who
drove an ambulance during the war and lived
life at full throttle, now dresses in mannish
clothes and wanders the streets with a restless
hunger, searching
much loved, harbours a painful secret
Viv, glamour girl, is stubbornly, even foolishly
loyal to her soldier lover
apparent innocent, has had his own demons
to fight during the war. Their lives and their
secrets connect in sometimes startling ways.
War leads to strange alliances.
Tender, tragic and beautifully poignant, set
against the backdrop of feats of heroism
both epic and ordinary, here is a novel of
relationships that offers up subtle surprises
and twists. The Night Watch is thrilling.
A towering achievement. |
