Sarah Waters: Books & Movies Discussion
Front-Ranger:
Any spoilers went right over my head, so the ending totally threw me for a loop! In fact, it hasn't quite sunk in yet and I need to watch the movie again, preferably with a friend or two. What an intriguing story! I can see why you devote a whole thread to this one author.
It reminded me of The Prestige a little, too.

An SW update:
The Little Stranger
by Sarah Waters
Release date: April 30, 2009
In a dusty post-war summer in rural Warwickshire, a doctor is called to a patient at Hundreds Hall. Home to the Ayres family for over two centuries, the Georgian house, once grand and handsome, is now in decline, its masonry crumbling, its gardens choked with weeds, the clock in its stable yard permanently fixed at twenty to nine. But are the Ayreses haunted by something more sinister than a dying way of life? Little does Dr Faraday know how closely, and how terrifyingly, their story is about to become entwined with his. Prepare yourself. From this wonderful writer who continues to astonish us, now comes a chilling ghost story.

I just found out that my friend Offline Chuck is a bit of a Sarah Waters fan, so we are planning to have a mini-SW festival and watch Tipping the Velvet sometime this winter!

That is awesome, Lee!
I also recently found out that one of our friends is a big SW fan as well. How exciting it was to discover that she has read all the SW novels and was dying to watch the movies as well. Seeing as I have all the movies, we'll either be watching them together or I'll lend them to her. She is also very much into reading women's history books - another passion of mine - so I reckon I'll have some books she might like to read and vice versa. :)
Front-Ranger:
Something to look forward to! I'll let everyone know when the Sarah Waters mini-festival in Denver will take place.
