5/9/2023 0 Comments 1998 novel by sarah waters![]() With the publication of her fifth novel, The Little Stranger, Waters is now quite at home in the world of books and seems astonishingly well-adjusted for a writer whose rise has been swift and apparently effortless. Her conversation, too, is plain, guileless and natural. When she opens the door in jeans and sneakers and shows you up the bare wooden stairs to her cluttered first-floor kitchen, there is none of that disconnect you can sometimes feel on meeting a writer whose airbrushed image adorns her many paperbacks: Ms Waters is exactly like her photographs, with freckled white skin, an almost boyish, slightly wary, smile and that floppy child star's haircut. It's an address that seems perfect for her, and the absolute rightness of things in Waters's world is reinforced on first meeting, one sunny afternoon at the beginning of spring. S arah Waters lives in a pretty little Victorian terrace in south London not far from a courthouse and the Imperial War Museum. ![]()
