vinjii 's review for:
The Night Watch
by Sarah Waters
I loved Fingersmith and I adore Sarah Waters' writing. In this book as well her writing was gorgeous. A few passages even made me feel awfully tense, almost sick because of the author's description.
The writing is the reason for the three stars.
My problem with this book is mainly the lack of plot. She tells the story backwards. Four people in London after the war (1947), and during the war (1944, 1941).
After the first part she abandons the characters in 1947 in a very open ending. And I honestly wanted to know what happens to them and not how they got there.
It's most definitely not a bad book and I did enjoy reading it. She's a gifted writer.
