Description
It is 1922, and in a hushed south London villa, life is about to be transformed as genteel widow Mrs Wray and her discontented daughter Frances are obliged to take in lodgers. Lilian and Leonard Barber, a modern young couple of the “clerk class”, bring with them gramophone music, colour, fun and dangerous desires. The most ordinary of lives, it seems, can explode into passion and drama. A love story that is also a crime story, this is vintage Sarah Waters, a page-turning melodrama and a fascinating portrait of London on the verge of great change.
