Soft pick. I really like the writing style where the story works backwards 3 parts - 1947, 1944, 1941. This allows reader to both realize how things got to where they were in the future (earlier) chapters and also have a strange sense of retroactive anxiety for what you know is coming.
I wish the overall story was more entertaining, I was a bit bored, Sarah Waters has a writing style that can only be described as overwritten
3.5😍

One of the characters mentions that people‘s pasts are more interesting than their futures, and this book is told with that in mind, introducing the characters after World War II and telling their stories in reverse. I had mixed feelings about this format, but Waters‘ writing is, as always, in top form, her many characters and often bombed late-war London are brought vividly to life.

After reading too many WW2 books, this one was so very different. Female experiences of war is something I'm drawn to for reasons unknown. This one also had lesbian characters--a bit of a fresh story

Mitch @Soubhiville @bookzombie @quietjenn It was good - they dealt with the wonky timeline well and the set was incredibly atmospheric of post war London. I didn't love it - and if I hadn't of read the book, not sure it would have been as good. Waters books are so great at building layer upon layer of character - you get to know each person intimately - that didn't translate well to the stage.But a fun afternoon! 5y

A gentle plot for Sarah Waters. I enjoyed this book, but the reverse chronological order was weird. I wanted to re-read it immediately in the proper order, but it was a library book and I had to return it. I'll check it out again eventually. #lesbianlit #lesbian 🌈

“The Night Watch” is the third Sarah Waters book I‘ve read. I didn‘t enjoy it as much as the previous two and didn‘t feel such strong connections with these characters, but don‘t let that put you off, Waters is an amazing writer I‘d highly recommend.

Pains me to give a Waters bk less than 4 stars. Unclear why she told it in reverse, didn‘t seem necessary & left me unsure about what had happened for the chars. Also had hard time keeping relationships clear & didn‘t care abt Duncan. Maybe I‘m a cranky queer bitch but would‘ve liked just the women, maybe just K & H. Still loved the writing & queer rep & the experiences of women during wartime was poignant, but overall my least fave of hers 3/5 ⭐️

alisonrose Also good lord but this was hard to chop down to 451 characters. Pleeeeeeeease give us at least a little more room @TimSpalding 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 6y

While I thought the writing was good, the historical details about WWII were interesting, and the backwards timeline was a novel concept, I ended up feeling rather meh about this one. It was too long and left me feeling unsatisfied with the characters‘ arcs.

Another wonderful novel by Sarah Waters. I will admit it wasn‘t my favorite by her but I think that‘s due to my own personal idiosyncrasies. The novel has an interesting backward time line structure that isn‘t usual of her writing. However, as usual there are twists and the character‘s timelines intertwine in that unique way she does. As always, Historically accurate and a great view into being LGBTQ in a different time period.

This uniquely structured novel, moving backwards in time, follows the lives of four Londoners as they endure the blitz of the 1940s. Waters nails the tricky timeline and provides in depth character studies for each of the characters as you get to slowly see how and why their lives take a turn after the war, for better or worse.

During the WW2, London was bombed by the Nazis for 76 consecutive nights, known as ‘the Blitz‘. Those who survived watched for the bombs that would start to fall just after dark. Hence the source of the title. The bombing raids impact all the characters in the story, one way or another.

This book wasn't what I thought it was going to be, based on how it was described to me. However, it was still a really book! It's about 4 main people starting after WWII, in the middle of the war, and then the beginning of the war and how they are connected. It was a very intriguing story. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is a really well done character study! The book starts in 1947 and then moves backwards through the War to 1941 to show you how our characters are changed in those few years. It's just so easy to connect with these characters. And Sarah Waters pulls off this reverse timeline so well! And as always her period research is on point. I just can't get enough of her works! ❤️💛💚💙💜
