Correspondence with Sarah Waters

In my proposal, I talked about being influenced by Sarah Waters, who is my favourite author. Her books are always period; Victorian usually, though sometimes wartime/post-wartime Britain. I've emailed her in the past, just praising her books and she was very lovely. I decided that, at the beginning of my project, she would be a good person to ask for some direction on research resources. Here are some screenshots of our emails:


Now, I did email her with the full intention of buying and reading the books. Had I been a bit more organised with money, I could've bought them and spent my bed-bound bronchitis month reading. Unfortunately, I didn't and because of the time I'd lost working because of being ill, once I recovered I had neither time nor money to read them which is a shame. I'll agree with her though, the internet was a great resource!
