The night watch - Waters, Sarah

Soft back. Virago Press. 2010. Begagnad, OK skick. 

Tender and tragic, set against the turbulent backdrop of wartime Britain, The night watch is the extraordinary story of four Londoners: Kay, who wanders the streets in mannish clothes, restless and searching…Helen, who arbours a troubling secret…Viv, glamour girl, recklessly loyal to her loving soldier…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.
