The Little Stranger | Sarah Waters | Book Review

[@OldBluesChapterandVerse]

I love your reviews, Jay, but you so rarely review something I’ve read! I’ve read The Little Stranger twice, and it has in it the single most terrifying scene I’ve ever read: the scene in the nursery. You must know which scene I mean. 😬

Very much! So glad our reading paths crossed.

Great review! Every author you mention in this video is one I hope to get to this year.

[@JayShayy]

Thank you! It is fun to get into a subject matter or era and just dig down a little.

Doing some video watching catch up. My favourite Waters is The Night Watch. What an insightful comment that she has a chameleon-like quality to capture the style of a period when she sets a book. It could tip over into pastiche but she is too good for that.

Yes, I went from _The Little Stranger_ to Josephine Tey's _The Franchise Affair_ a book written during the time _Stranger_ is set and I'm even more impressed with how Waters incorporates and transforms the literature of the time.

Love Waters novels. 👌💕

The best thing is that I've only read two so far so I've got lots to look forward too!
