Affinity by Sarah Waters
slow-paced
okay miss sarah waters…you got me there! at several points throughout the book, i considered DNFing but i ended up finishing it and WOOF! i’m glad i did. i thought the ending of this book was so well-done and answered just as many questions as it left.
during my reading experience, i really was so back-and-forth on the validity of selina dawes and her “powers” as a medium. one moment i was like omg wow this girl really can talk to spirits and the next i was just shaking my head over how silly people were to be believing her. and the ENDING got me good in this regard.
margaret was an interesting narrator. i felt for her in terms of wanting more independence and wanting connections to the women, specifically selina, at the prison even when these maybe weren’t the best relationships. i liked that this book was told in epistolary format, i’m always a sucker for that.
deeply sorry that ENDING dhdjhshd really has me gooped. seeing how the pieces all fell into place…good stuff. maybe i’m easily impressed but i truly did not see it coming.
this book is definitely more of a slowburn that was a little boring at times but ultimately paid off in the end.
