acclaimed British novelist SARAH WATERS reading & book signing for "The Night Watch" Friday, March 31st at 7 pm
Sarah Waters' acclaimed works, set in Victorian England, have reinvigorated both historical and lesbian fiction. She returns with "The Night Watch," a new novel set in 1940's London. Amid air raids, blacked-out streets, illicit liaisons, and sexual adventure, this thrilling work brims with vivid historical detail, coincidences, and psychological complexity.
Sarah Waters is the author of "Tipping the Velvet," a New York Times Notable Book and the basis for a film of the same name, and "Affinity," for which she won the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year award. "Fingersmith," which was short-listed for both the Orange Prize and the Man Booker Prize, served as the basis for the 2005 film of the same name. In 2003, Waters was named one of Granta's best British writers under 40. "The Night Watch" is a # 1 best seller in England.
