![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Her suicide failed, obviously, so she decided to be a Lady Visitor at Millbank prison, spending her days speaking with convicts.Īt the prison, she meets quirkily alluring and enigmatic Selina Dawes, a psychic medium incarcerated for a reading gone awry. She takes chloral every day for her emotional instability/insomnia, eventually using it to aid in her suicide after the death of her father. Her father (whom she loved dearly) is dead, her mom is overbearing and protective and a Bible away from being the mom in Carrie, her former (female) lover is married to her brother and they have a child together. Yes, there will be spoilers.Īffinity is about a spinster (an older, unmarried woman) named Margaret Prior and, boy, has life really messed her up. Okay, cutting the crap and getting down to the review. So, yeah, I can definitely see how it can be boring and how you’d rather watch football or something. I’m half asleep just thinking about her engaging plots and characters. Nothing can be more mundane than flowing, ornate sentences filled with imagery strong enough to physically transport you to the setting, right? And don’t get me started on that gorgeous historically accurate Victorian-style prose. Some think she’s boring and I totally understand that. Oh, Sarah Waters, the lesbian Charles Dickens. ![]()
