I gather from the new cover of this book in Waterstones that there is now a television series based on it. So a circle then, because I first heard parts of it on the radio before reading the book. OK. I’m impressed, it’s good -but. Here it is a personal but. I have no idea at all why people of my age have nostalgia for the society of our childhood. Here we have it – gay women terrified of being found out; straight women having messed up abortions because they’re illegal; men being put in prison for being gay; men being put in prison for attempting suicide – can you believe. And in The Night Watch it’s a few years before that and men are in prison for being conscientious objectors. And young men are risking their lives to drop bombs on other human beings. To blow them into pieces. To burn cities. The good old days. The book begins in the post-war year of my birth and works backwards. The tragedy of these people is that their high point was ‘The War’ when there was purpose and everything since is pointless – like older people’s view of modern Britain. This book is demonstrably well researched and each little depressing nuance of 40s English life has a well-sinewed clarity. And the portrayal of London under the bombs is better than anything I have read. As Viv says “We might all be dead tomorrow", so life has point, at least today. Against all this miserable background there are of course Sarah Waters tortured characters’ demonstrating the futility of love and the certainty of betrayal. I didn’t enjoy this book.

First, thank you Goodreads First Reads & Putnam Books for the free advanced copy! (If you don’t already know, check out the Giveaways Section!) Remember THAT ex of yours? Imagine if you both had similar careers writing in somewhat dissimilar genres, and decided to take turns writing chapters (unedited by the other author), included your notes (and footnotes) to each other, and just let it fly. If you CAN’T imagine, then you’ve got the idea. The beauty of the way the story unfolds is that, as both writers work at three tasks (developing murder mysteries, meddling with their co-author, and burying funny insults in shallow graves), NO ONE (from the authors to the characters to the reader) seems to know what’s going to happen next. Miraculously, the result is a page-turner. You’re simultaneously seeing a bizarre story advance and waiting for the next moment in a hilarious (real or staged) spat. On rare occasions, the snarky notes back and forth become too much – but isn’t that the nature of any project with an ex? The funny moments far outweigh the uncomfortable ones and, after all, the back-and-forth gives you the unique (and here unavoidable) opportunity of laughing out loud when a character is unexpectedly killed. The end result is a bizarre, funny, and enjoyable read. I found myself rooting for and against nearly everyone at some point – putting a creative spin on the classic ruse of whodunits. The book is out this month – grab it!
