Refined, repressed and simmering... a delicious tale of Victorian spiritualism -- Mel Steel * Independent on Sunday * Spooky, spellbinding, exquisitely written... I do believe Waters is on the way to becoming a major literary star * Val Hennessy * Beautifully, atmospherically written, this is a tale to thrill your very soul * Metro * An exquisitely sad, pseudo-ghost story... it is a novel that takes countless risks -- Matt Thorne * Independent on Sunday * Affinity is the work of an intense and atmospheric imagination... Sarah Waters is such an interesting writer, a kind of feminist Dickens -- Fiona Pitt-Kethley * Daily Telegraph * Sarah Waters is such a brilliant writer that her readers would believe anything she told them -- A.N. Wilson * Daily Mail * Extraordinary... written in a subtly caricatured period style... So well researched is this novel that both diaries seem grotesquely authentic * The Times * Sexy, spooky, stylish, Affinity is a wonderful book * Guardian * 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 * San Francisco Chronicle * Gothic tale, psychological study, puzzle narrative... superbly suspenseful... This is gripping, astute fiction that feeds the mind and senses * Seattle Times * 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 * USA Today * 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 * Kirkus *More details
