Industry reviews
"Waters has found a superb metaphor for the love that dares not speak its name, and developed it with remarkable ingenuity and power: another stunning performance...."
Kirkus Reviews  (05/01/2000)

"The real power of this book belongs not to Selina but to the author herself. Through the lens of her late-20th-century consciousness, she pictures their world, even as she flawlessly renders the tone and diction of these 19th-century women's experiences. Admirers of Waters's first novel will recognize her consummate skill in evoking a sense of place--a particularly challenging task in the first half of AFFINITY, in which Margaret sets out to write a factual catalog of her visits. Waters manages to imbue wealth of potentially dry descriptive material with the emotion Margaret has tried to suppress...."
New York Times Book Review - Nancy Willard (07/23/2000)
