The
Paying Guests is the story of Frances Wray and her mother, previously well
to-do but saddled with debt left by the late Mr. Wray. Frances is verging on
spinsterhood as she continues to live at home to care for her aging mother.
In order to help with their debts, they take in two lodgers, or "paying
guests"--a married couple named Leonard and Lilian Barber. What follows
is a story of class relations, propriety, illicit love affairs, murder, and
courtroom drama. This book surprises you at every turn. Hard to put down.
