#147;[A] wonderful novel#133;Waters is almost Dickensian in her wealth of description and depth of character.”#151;Chicago Tribune

Moving back through the 1940s, through air raids, blacked-out streets, illicit partying, and sexual adventure, to end with its beginning in 1941, The Night Watch tells the story of four Londoners#151;three women and a young man with a past#151;whose lives, and those of their friends and lovers, connect in tragedy, stunning surprise and exquisite turns, only to change irreversibly in the shadow of a grand historical event.
