I don't recommend starting with Affinity, though, because it's probably her gloomiest novel and I think it gives off the impression that all of her novels are depressing when they aren't at all.Jess @ Jessticulateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081569733749956845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8513140108485649021.post-73868208425866761972015-08-24T11:10:03.599+01:002015-08-24T11:10:03.599+01:00Thank you! :)

I fell in love with Sue, but I think I identified with Maud just a little more.Jess @ Jessticulateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081569733749956845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8513140108485649021.post-61987466923232108862015-08-24T11:08:29.509+01:002015-08-24T11:08:29.509+01:00It's a fantastic book, isn't it? :D I'...It's a fantastic book, isn't it? :D I'm looking forward to reading more of Waters' work!Jess @ Jessticulateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081569733749956845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8513140108485649021.post-34974704003378988732015-08-22T13:22:02.052+01:002015-08-22T13:22:02.052+01:00This is a great review!

I don't usually go for romances but Sue and Maud moved me. Although Sue is a character you like very soon (because she starts being quite naive) Maud was the one that really haunted me, even if sometimes her motives and ways are a bit arguable. She is so interesting and smart, it's so refreshing to read female characters like her. The Victorian setting was and the irony of the plot were also a great point in this book. As you, I would definitely recommend it! Great blog, by the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8513140108485649021.post-20653220835904872262015-08-22T01:22:21.290+01:002015-08-22T01:22:21.290+01:00Wow, I think we had very similar experiences readi...Wow, I think we had very similar experiences reading this book. This was my first Sara Waters book, and it blew me away. I was gasping out loud at certain points. Simply brilliant! I agree with everything you said in your review!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
