\"Fingersmith<\/a>If I were stranded on a desert island and I only had one book it would be Fingersmith by Sarah Waters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I adore this book. Sarah Waters did a beautiful job of weaving an intricate story with great characters and enough heart stopping angst to keep me up through the night reading.<\/p>\n

London in 1862\u00a0–\u00a0Sue Trinder is an orphan who grows up among petty thieves (fingersmiths).<\/p>\n

Maud is born into a wealthy family. She works with her uncle on documenting his collection of books.<\/p>\n

One evening Gentleman enlists Sue’s help and proposes a scam to get hold of Maud\u2019s money. Sue is to play Maud’s\u00a0maid and help her realise that she is in love her painting teacher, Gentleman.<\/p>\n

Gentleman will then propose to Maude, they will\u00a0marry and he will be rich.<\/p>\n

But, things are not as they seem. The novel is full of twists and turns that keep you guessing.<\/p>\n

It kept me reading in a grip that would not let me put it down.<\/p>\n

The Characters<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Great characters and amazing transitions between the narrators.<\/p>\n

The Writing Style<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Waters writes extremely well. This is a long book and I couldn\u2019t put it down. Her language use is beautiful, her descriptions are spot on and I felt like I was right there.<\/p>\n

The Pros<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Fingersmith by Sarah Waters\u00a0is a magnificent read. Go get it.<\/p>\n

The Cons<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The BBC\u00a0made a terrible version of it for TV. So sad when they did such a stunning job of turning Tipping the Velvet into a miniseries.<\/p>\n

\"Sheena's<\/a>\"\"<\/a>The Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Read it. Just do.<\/p>\n

Excerpt from Fingersmith by Sarah Waters<\/strong><\/h2>\n

My name, in those days, was Susan Trinder. People called me Sue. I noe the year I was born in, but for many years I did not know the date, and took my birthday at Christmas. I believe I am an orphan. My mother I know is dead. But I never saw her, she was nothing to me. I was Mrs Sucksby\u2019s child, if I was anyone\u2019s; and for father I had Mr Ibbs, who kept the locksmith\u2019s shop, at Lant Street, in the Borough, near to the Thames.<\/p>\n

This is the first time I remember thinking about the world and my place in it.<\/p>\n

There was a girl names Flora, who paid Mrs Sucksby a penny to take me begging at a play. People used to like to take me begging then, for the sake of my bright hair; and Flora being so very fair, she would pass me off as her sister. The Theatre she took me to, on the night I am thinking of now, was the Surrey, St George\u2019s Circus. The play was Oliver Twist<\/em>. I remember it as very terrible. I remember the tilt of the gallery, and the drop to the pit. I remember a drunken woman catching at the ribbons of my dress. I remember the flares, that made the stage very lurid; and the roaring of the actors, the shrieking of the crowd.<\/p>\n
