The Paying Guests
by Sarah Waters
This is the first book I've read by Sarah Waters, and it makes me want to read more. I think this goes beyond "historical fiction" but Waters does an excellent job of plopping the reader right into 1922. I found it fascinating and kept wanting more - even the long descriptions of the main character's housework or clothing.
The book does start off slowly, builds interest, and gets just a touch melodramatic toward the middle, but then swings back to captivating. Stick with it.
I listened to the audio version of this book and highly recommend the narrator. She kept an appropriate pace and tailored her voice to the various characters without being grotesquely exaggerated.
