love love love this book! After reading this and then 'Sepulche' I have developed an unhealthy obsession with wanting to visit Carcassone and surrounding areas.

I read 'Testimony' by Anita Shrieve. I like the way its written so you really get inside each character's head!

I agree! A very emotional book full of family drama and family tragedies and the ups and downs of love. I read it a couple of years ago and promptly forced it onto everyone else. I personally found the first part of the book while still interesting a little slow but it steadily gained momentum as it rolled into the second part and reached the conclusion at full speed, I just couldn't put it down!
My heart broke for the father and the mother (its been a while and I regretfully can't remember names sorry!) when she was sent away. And I practically screamed with fury at the elder sister!
brilliant book, I've been told that 'The Return' is also excellent but haven't read it yet.

I loved reading 'London'! I found it in a dusty pile of books on holiday in a chalet in France but didn't have time to finish it...I couldn't leave it unread but I also felt bad for stealing it so I had to buy a new copy when I got home!
Love the history and the way he traces several families through the generations!

I've read all Sarah Waters except 'Affinity'...just waiting for it to pop up in a charity shop! She is an addictive read definately. Each book is so well written. I particularly like the unlinear way she writes 'The Nightwatch' and brings everything together at the end. I read 'Tipping the Velvet' first as I had seen some of the television series. Its a good long read with not so much as one dull page. The same can be said of all her work I think!
