«The Night Watch» is the historical novel by Sarah Waters, published by Virago in paperback (506 pages, in English).
The novel moves backwards through the 1940s to 1941 and follows four Londoners in World War II: Kay, Helen, Viv and Duncan. Their lives and secrets intertwine amid bombings, blackouts and forbidden loves, in a story that changes meaning as it is told backwards.
The novel was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Orange Prize, and won the Lambda Literary Award in the lesbian fiction category.
For readers of historical fiction and narrative with LGBTQ+ characters set in World War II.
