Ex-servicemen are disillusioned; the out-of-work and the hungry are demanding change. And in South London, in a genteel Camberwell villa--a large, silent house now bereft of brothers, husband, and even servants--life is about to be transformed, as impoverished widow Mrs. Wray and her spinster daughter, Frances, are obliged to take in lodgers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With the arrival of Lilian and Leonard Barber, a modern young couple of the \"clerk class,\" the routines of the house will be shaken up in unexpected ways. Little do the Wrays know just how profoundly their new tenants will alter the course of Frances's life--or, as passions mount and frustration gathers, how far-reaching, and how devastating, the disturbances will be. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Short-listed for the Man Booker Prize three times, Sarah Waters has earned a reputation as one of our greatest writers of historical fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Waters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1594633924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594633928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Riverhead Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/05\/2015 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/11\/2015 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/20\/2015 pg. 114","brand":"Sarah Waters","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049482875135,"sku":"9781594633928","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_528d9d11-3ee1-4de6-89a6-e8582bf80da5.jpg?v=1685001755","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-paying-guests-sarah-waters-9781594633928","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
