Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“There are two kinds of mystery novels. The first gives us the crime and the clues; the guilty party is then unmasked and the mystery solved. In the other, the crime is solved but not the mystery, which arises from a dark corner of the human condition. Sarah Waters’s remarkable second novel, Affinity, is both of these—and also a wrenching love story.” New York Times Book Review
“The book is multidimensional: a truly suspenseful tale of terror; and a piece of elegant, thinly veiled erotica.” USA Today
“Moody, haunting, and haunted… Affinity is two parts Wilkie Collins, with whose The Woman in White it shares an obsession with prisons, madness, journal-keeping, and elaborate, carefully engineered deceits.” New Yorker
“The author’s persuasive imagination matched by her gift for storytelling…initially suggests that we can separate truth from desire. Or can we? What Waters’ haunting creation leaves us with is a more painful reality—that knowledge and belief are entirely different things.” Amazon.com, editorial review
“Waters has concocted a delicious mix of mysticism and dark romance set in Victorian England.” Booklist
