      Summary of The Paying Guests - Instaread Summaries

      Summary

      The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters is a historical romance novel and crime story. It is set just outside postwar London in the year 1922.

      Frances Wray is a twenty-six-year-old single woman who lives with her widowed mother, Emily. After losing her two brothers in the war, Frances is left to take care of her mother and the household. Her father mismanaged the family’s financial affairs before his death, leaving his wife and daughter struggling to get by with few resources. The Wrays are forced to dismiss the household help, leaving Frances to do most of the household chores. Frances decides she must rent out some of the rooms in their house to help with money issues.

      Frances makes arrangements for Leonard and Lilian Barber, a young, married, working class couple, to move into the rooms on the second floor of the Wray home. Leonard’s friend, Charles Wismuth, helps them move in. It takes some time for the Wrays to adjust to having lodgers. Frances and Emily must get used to the differences in the lives of the working class Barbers as compared to their more refined routines. The differences in their social classes become even more clear when Lilian’s family comes to visit. Lilian’s family is loud and much less sophisticated than the upper class Wrays.

      Frances and Lilian become friends. They spend time together, including a trip to the park for a picnic. Lilian reveals to Frances that her marriage is not a happy one. Frances,
