Recensione:

“Unfolds sinuously and ominously...a powerful plot-twister...a truly suspenseful tale of terror; and a piece of elegant, thinly veiled erotica. Like a Ouija board, Affinity offers different messages to different readers, scaring the shrouds off everyone in the process.”
—USA Today

“[Waters] displays her incredible talent for the Gothic historical novel in this splendid book about a Victorian women’s prison and the affair there between an inmate and a ‘lady visitor.’”
—San Francisco Chronicle

“Gothic tale, psychological study, puzzle narrative...superbly suspenseful...This is gripping, astute fiction that feeds the mind and senses.”
—The Seattle Times
