The Night Watch
by Sarah Waters
I feel like this book has been on my to be read shelf forever, so maybe I had higher expectations than I should have. It was definitely not my favorite Sarah Waters novel, perhaps because I really didn't like several of the main characters - Helen in particular. What I did like, though at first I wasn't sure I would, was the format of the novel, moving backwards through time to show you how they got to where they were. Of course, being set during World War II heightened the desperate feeling of the whole thing, compounded by the personal crises suffered by each character, which made it difficult to enjoy the story but very easy to sympathize.
