Historical novelist Sarah Waters sets her fourth book in World War II-era London, which serves as a backdrop to the poignant intertwined stories of men and women looking for love, often in not societally approved liaisons (with their own gender or with married people). The book actually starts in 1947, and then jumps backward to 1944 and 1941.
