Tender, tragic and beautifully poignant, set against the backdrop of feats of heroism both epic and ordinary, here is a novel of relationships that offers up subtle surprises and twists.
Their lives, and their secrets connect in sometimes startling ways. Duncan, an apparent innocent, has had his own demons to fight during the war. Viv, glamour girl, is stubbornly, even foolishly loyal, to her soldier lover. Helen, clever, sweet, much-loved, harbours a painful secret. Kay, who drove an ambulance during the war and lived life at full throttle, now dresses in mannish clothes and wanders the streets with a restless hunger, searching. It's a tour-de-force of hints, clues and dropped threads' Suzi Feay, Independent on SundayMoving back through the 1940s, through air raids, blacked out streets, illicit liaisons, sexual adventure, to end with its beginning in 1941, The Night Watch is the work of a truly brilliant and compelling storyteller.This is the story of four Londoners - three women and a young man with a past, drawn with absolute truth and intimacy. the period detail never overwhelms the simple, passionate human story. Neuware -Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction Shortlisted for the Orange Prize and the Booker Prize'Brilliantly done. Margaret siente que ambas se parecen y cuando la persuasiva Selina le anuncia que los espíritus han dispuesto que ella caiga presa para que las dos puedan encontrarse, puesto que son las dos mitades de una misma sustancia, Margaret sólo desea creerla, y está dispuesta a aceptar absolutamente todas sus sugerencias.
Y allí la aguarda Selina Dawes, una médium espiritista, acusada de estafa y de vejar a una jovencita pero que insiste en su inocencia. Tras la muerte de su padre ha intentado suicidarse, y ahora, para reponerse, y tal vez para huir de la asfixiante vida junto a su madre, comenzará a visitar la prisión de mujeres de Millbank e intentará ayudar a las internas a mejorar su vida espiritual. Margaret Prior es aún joven, pero parece destinada a una solitaria soltería.
