minniepauline 's review for:

The Night Watch by Sarah Waters

5.0

adventurous emotional sad tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I felt as though I was time-traveling, reading this novel. Waters’ research is meticulous, but she never lets you see it. Instead she creates a very believable 1940s London, and weaves her characters lives in and around the horrors of the war and its aftermath, as if they’re friends and neighbors. I think I know what a five-star book is, and then I read something like this and I wish there were more stars to give.
