Book Synopsis

The number one bestseller, a tender and tragic story set against the turbulence of wartime London



The Night Watch us the extraordinary story of four Londoners: Kay, who wanders the streets in mannish clothes, restless and searching... Helen, who harbours a troubling secret... Viv, a glamour girl, recklessly loyal to her soldier lover... and Duncan, an apparent innocent, struggling with demons of his own.

Moving back through the 1940s, through air raids, blacked-out streets, illicit liaisons and sexual adventure, to end with its beginning in 1941, this is an astonishing novel.

''Burns with a slow but scorching intensity'' Mark Bostridge, Independent on Sunday

''Beautifully written, deeply moving and utterly engrossing'' Elle

''Waters is an author to cherish, and this is probably her finest achievement yet'' Justine Jordan, Guardian

''Terrific narrative tension'' Daily Mail
