Affinity
An eerily brilliant and spooky tale of spiritualism and deception
'Now you know why you are drawn to me - why your flesh comes creeping to mine, and what it comes for. Let it creep.'
From the dark heart of a Victorian prison, disgraced spiritualist Selina Dawes weaves an enigmatic spell. Is she a fraud, or a prodigy? By the time it all begins to matter, you'll find yourself desperately wanting to believe in magic.
'Refined, repressed and simmering... a delicious tale of Victorian spiritualism' Independent on Sunday

'Beautifully, atmospherically written, this is a tale to thrill your very soul' Metro
'Sexy, spooky, stylish... a wonderful book' Guardian

'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' - 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' - Daily Telegraph
'Sarah Waters is such a brilliant writer that her readers would believe anything she told them' - 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
