A review by late_bette
The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters

3.0

I enjoyed the plot of this book but thought it could have been wrapped up much sooner. It seemed to drag on and on; my interest wasn't held and I had to find the will to finish it. The characters were described in a way that seemed believable for the time period. I especially enjoyed the dynamic between Frances and her mother and the commentary/descriptions of the changing social structure of the time. Although, Lilian's character drove me mad. At first I enjoyed her and then I was just wishing she would be written out somehow. Spoiler, she isn't.
