The Nightwatcher

I just finished reading a book recommended to me by my uncle's wife: The Nightwatcher by Sarah Waters. I really enjoyed it actually. It's set in the London of the 1940's and the narrative is chronologically reversed. This is done in a very natural and unforced manner; the mysteries that we want solved and the links between the characters we want explained are best done so by going back to when they happened and were forged. It deals with quite strong and important experiences but in a very down tuned way which makes it that more effective. And then I must say I enjoy reading a story set in a city I'm getting to know more and more. It possible for me to follow their movements in a more dimensional way thanks to haveing a feel for the geaography and urban landscape of London (even though it looked quite different during and just after the War).
