What to expect
'Now you know why you are drawn to me - why your flesh comes creeping to mine, and what it comes for. Let it creep.'
From the dark heart of a Victorian prison, disgraced spiritualist Selina Dawes weaves an enigmatic spell. Is she a fraud, or a prodigy? By the time it all begins to matter, you'll find yourself desperately wanting to believe in magic.
'Spooky, spellbinding, exquisitely written . . . I do believe Waters is on the way to becoming a major literary star'
Val Hennessy
'Indeed, this is such a brilliant writer that her readers would believe anything she told them'
A. N. Wilson, Daily Mail
'Refined, repressed and simmering . . . a delicious tale of Victorian spiritualism'
Mel Steel, Independent on Sunday
Critics Review
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
