Recenzii
Refined, repressed and simmering... a delicious tale of Victorian spiritualism
Spooky, spellbinding, exquisitely written... I do believe Waters is on the way to becoming a major literary star
Beautifully, atmospherically written, this is a tale to thrill your very soul
An exquisitely sad, pseudo-ghost story... it is a novel that takes countless risks
Affinity is the work of an intense and atmospheric imagination... Sarah Waters is such an interesting writer, a kind of feminist Dickens
Sarah Waters is such a brilliant writer that her readers would believe anything she told them
Extraordinary... written in a subtly caricatured period style... So well researched is this novel that both diaries seem grotesquely authentic
Sexy, spooky, stylish, Affinity is a wonderful book
Waters displays her incredible talent for the Gothic historical novel in this splendid book about a Victorian women's prison and the affair there between an inmate and a lady visitor
Gothic tale, psychological study, puzzle narrative... superbly suspenseful... This is gripping, astute fiction that feeds the mind and senses
Unfolds sinuously and ominously... a powerful plot-twister... a truly suspenseful tale of terror; and a piece of elegant, thinly veiled erotica. Like a Ouija board, Affinity offers different messages to different readers, scaring the shrouds off everyone in the process
A richly detailed exploration of the mysterious affinity that appears to unite two lonely women... Waters has found a superb metaphor for the love that dares not speak its name, and developed it with remarkable ingenuity and power: another stunning performance
'Waters is creepily conversant with ways to scare us' Hilary Mantel
From the dark heart of a Victorian prison, disgraced spiritualist Selina Dawes weaves an enigmatic spell: 'Now you know why you are drawn to me - why your flesh comes creeping to mine and what it comes for. Let it creep.'
