I also must say I am a sucker for happy endings. You'd never think it would get there, as well, but it does! It's a must see for gay women audience, no doubt.

Sarah Waters fans, there you go. Can't really tell if it's better than "Affinity" or "Tipping the Velvet". Anastasia B Super Reviewer.

Jan 19, This made for television 'mini-series' has such a gloomy aura about it that it's difficult to see any of the characters in a favorable light.

Randy T Super Reviewer. Aug 21, She is now a thief, sharing a house with a gang of thieves that has an excellent view of them on Lant Street in Victorian London.

And to think, people now worry about violence on television. She is recruited into a scam by Gentleman Rupert Evans , another thief, who posing as a real gentleman, Richard Rivers, is out to seduce Maud Lilly Elaine Cassidy and drive her mad in order to gain control of her fortune that is due her once she marries.

Maud was born in an insane asylum and was adopted by her uncle Charles Dance to be his secretary. It is a perfectly adequate and none too original bodice ripper with a Dickensian flavor.

After playing it straight for the first half, there is a huge twist, followed by revelations which come quick and often but it plays fair with the audience due to its changing points of view.

And it does have some good thoughts about identity in the gilded age of Victorian England. Walter M Super Reviewer. See all Audience reviews.

And these girls here are innocent girls, and know nothing at all about it; and have harmed no-one. Mrs Sucksby is hanged for killing Gentleman; it is revealed that Richard Rivers was not a shamed gentleman at all, but a draper's son named Frederick Bunt, who had had ideas above his station.

Maud disappears, though Sue sees her briefly at Mrs Sucksby's trial and gathers from the prison matrons that Maud had been visiting Mrs Sucksby in the days leading up to her death.

Sue remains unaware of her true parentage until she finds the will of Marianne Lilly tucked in the folds of Mrs Sucksby's gown.

Realising everything, an overwhelmed Sue sets out to find Maud, beginning by returning to Briar. It is there she finds Maud, and the nature of Christopher Lilly's work is finally revealed to Sue.

It is further revealed that Maud is now writing erotic fiction to sustain herself financially, publishing her stories in The Pearl , a pornographic magazine run by one of her uncle's friends in London, William Lazenby.

The two girls, still very much in love with each other despite everything, make peace and give vent to their feelings at last.

The book is notable for its eroticism and depiction of pornography. Reviewers have praised Waters' negotiation of sexual themes; a review from The Guardian describes it as "erotic and unnerving", [2] while the New York Times praises its "illicit undertow".

Literary critics have also focused on the novel's sexual themes, and identified its engagement with debates surrounding feminism and pornography.

In Fingersmith, Waters uses her depiction of lesbian love between Maud and Sue to challenge a variety of hetero-patriarchal norms, and respond to different feminist arguments about pornography.

The novel's title is likely intended to reflect the erotic themes of the novel. Fingersmith is an archaic term for a petty thief, but given the content of the novel, it can also be assumed to have intentionally sexual connotations.

The serious answer is that Mrs. Sucksby had always planned to get Susan's share of the inheritance away from her, and where better to stash her than in a place where she was legally as good as dead?

Of course I have to wonder, wouldn't the cost of keeping her there eat up her share of the inheritance anyway?

Sucksby never had any feelings for Susan's mother, she was always interested in only two things. One was her own daughter and the other was the cash.

She took in unwed mothers for cash, sold their babies for cash, and hit the mother-load with Susan's inheritance. She always treated Susan like a precious possession, which she was, and Sue, not knowing better, mistook that for unconditional love.

Of course, there could always be more. I wasn't expecting that. Oct 27, AM. This novel, for me all pastiche, pasteboard and mirrors, really irritated me principally because I could have read two good novels in the time it took me to wade through it.

Waters overwrite This novel, for me all pastiche, pasteboard and mirrors, really irritated me principally because I could have read two good novels in the time it took me to wade through it.

Waters overwrites every single scene, always telling us far too much, always throwing yet more wood on the fire which has the effect of continually tipping the emotional register close to melodrama.

She also endlessly repeats herself. This is often the problem with plot twists — they stifle all the blood out of the characters, they reduce characters to devices.

The plot of this novel straitjackets all the characters. The men are pantomime villains. They have no inner life. Are simply wheeled on and off stage when required.

They have to do what the plot requires them to do. Suspension of disbelief is impossible. It quotes or pastiches most of popular Victorian literature.

Most notably The Woman in White. But also, of course, Dickens and George Eliot Casaubon, the ogre of the library, is here compiling an inventory of pornographic literature.

On a good note it did make me again appreciate the brilliance of Dickens who could do great plot twists without sacrificing character development.

I loved the book for similar reasons that I love Dickens, but I think his characters are far more "pantomime", eg, Fagin, Dodger and Bill Sykes.

Perhaps this is the style of Victorian fiction; if so, I think Waters has done a remarkable job of replicating and improving it, rather than pastiche.

When does homage become pastiche anyway? I thought there were plenty of insights into human nature, eg, the greed vs guilt in Mrs Sucksby, and the restrained love between Maud and Sue, despite their histories of abuse and crime.

I felt the plot was complex enough to create lots of tension, but not ridiculously or needlessly complex. I couldn't be sure whether the ending was going to be happy or tragic.

I agree that it did read like a screenplay, but I decided that was just the result of its vivid style rather than a deliberate attempt to have it filmed.

Cecily Crucifer wrote: "Violet, what's the best plot-twist you've encountered in literature, could you point me towards them please?

Thank you! There are lots of echoes of various classics, which are fine. But there's one that spoils this if you know it. This is a Victorian murder mystery with a lesbian romance.

You will probably love it, but even if you don't, it's highly unlikely you will have read anything else quite like it. View all 5 comments.

What a remarkably compelling and atmospheric gothic tale , A real treat for lovers of this genre or for readers who enjoy well written historical fiction with vivid and interesting characters and an errie sense of time and place.

This is what 5 Stars books are made of for me. Such a page turner and those twists and turns really kept me on my toes from start to finish.

I picked this one up Wow! I picked this one up by chance in a second hand book shop while on an outing one Saturday and what a great find it was just the engrossing read I needed after a bunch of 2 and 3 star books.

The author creates an amazing sense of time an place here and you are drawn into the London of and at times throughout this tightly woven plot I felt myself holding my breath and wanting to skip pages just to see the characters fates as I just was that caught up in the plot.

There is a love story at the heart of this novel that is beautifully written and real. A charming but twisted tale full of villains, intrigue and secrets.

This book was a lengthy read and probably could have benefited with being cut back by pages and not affected the story in the least.

The fact that the story is told from the viewpoint of two of the characters does make it a little repetitive. And that is my measure of really good book.

I was expecting something l A tricky book to review, partly because it didn't live up to my possibly unfairly high hopes and partly because I'm trying to write shorter, punchier reviews, but this was almost pages long.

Unfortunately, it fell short. Literary Nods I noticed quite a few echoes of classics, and I liked all but one of these little homages.

A fingersmith is a pickpocket, and Oliver Twist is explicitly mentioned on the first page and a couple of times thereafter. Unsurprising but harmless.

Jane Eyre is a clear inspiration, with a Mrs Rivers not that there was, quite, one in JE , a magical-realist thread tugging, almost literally, at the heart of a separated lover, and a willful child who is treated rather as Aunt Reed treated Jane.

Aspects of the life of one character have eerie echoes of one in Great Expectations view spoiler [raised in material comfort, but corrupted and deliberately inured to love hide spoiler ].

There are quite a few ghost-story tropes, but only in a couple of chapters: fog, a mysterious candlelit figure at a window, clocks striking in a dilapidated house, nightmares… etc.

The fundamental problem for me was the numerous parallels to another classic, meaning that the plot of this held few surprises: view spoiler [ The Woman in White.

Three Sections, Two Narrators The book is split into thirds. Her storytelling style is necessarily rather plain.

I really enjoyed this section, partly because her more descriptive and thoughtful voice was more engaging, but mainly because of the way this section repeatedly refuted so many of my assumptions and quibbles in part one, and raised questions about most of the others.

Almost nothing is as it seemed. That in itself was predictable, and most of the plot was too. Several reviews mention the frequent and surprising plot twists.

I can see why it can be exciting: love, betrayal, mistaken identity, wealth, madness, revenge, escape, transformation, murder… yet excitement eluded me.

Fingering Waters is well known as a lesbian writer who often includes lesbian themes. That crops up here, but is not extensive enough to sway readers one way or the other when deciding whether to read it.

Fingers feature prominently though, mainly in part two. Maude always wears spotless gloves and her uncle has a big brass plaque on the library floor beyond which servants must not cross, lest their eyes damage the books.

Erotica or Porn? This book is neither, but it indirectly raises question about the distinction. It can be tricky to do that without spoilers.

One interesting angle is that view spoiler [the situation that would alarm modern social services is less damaging than the comfortable and outwardly respectable one hide spoiler ].

Willing Suspension of Disbelief? It seems mean-spirited to check these things out, but I did. It gnawed away at me. I was surprised to find it was not as uncommon as Maud e , though it was far rarer than Anne or Margaret.

My bad. Another character is frequently seen smoking a cigarette sometimes from a pack, sometimes he rolls his own. Again, that seemed noteworthy, and again I checked.

This proved far less likely. Searching published documents of the period, Google Ngrams finds hardly any occurrences of the word at the time.

More positively, some of the things that seemed improbable in part one turned out to have vaguely plausible explanations in part two, and as with many Victorian novels, guilt is a major theme, though here the twist is that few have more than a passing acquaintance with it.

Rating Overall, not a bad book, but nowhere near as enjoyable as I'd hoped. It is what I know of the cruelty of patience. View all 66 comments.

Pigeons and pearls. Perceptions and palpability. Sue was an orphan in Victorian London, raised among thieves. Baby farmer Mrs.

Sucksby seemed to take a particular shine to Sue, and more or less rai Pigeons and pearls. Sucksby seemed to take a particular shine to Sue, and more or less raised her as her own.

Then came a fateful day when Sue was Rivers, known to them simply as Gentleman, outlined his scheme to bilk a young lady the same age as Sue out of her inheritance.

Maud, the young target, lived in a declining but still functioning country estate with a reclusive uncle. Sue would then get a cut of the money.

That means an easier review, benefitting you and me both. I can say that the book is broken into thirds. Sue narrates the first part, Maud gets a turn to tell her side of the story in the second, and Sue takes over again at the end.

Keenly observed perceptions and perspectives are keys to making this work. But then, things are not always as they seem.

As a rule, I like surprises, and Waters gives us some good ones. After reaching critical mass, though, I began reading each scene suspicious of more.

To be honest, it became a distraction. As for the palpability, you expect that from Victorian England, right? This is the seedier side, where the muck, the rough edges, and the hard feelings truly are palpable.

Separate from that, the rare moments of tenderness are also honestly felt. As are the relationships, predicated on what each thinks she knows about the other at any given time.

I give Waters credit for making me think about surface relations, hidden agendas, and more visceral matters of the human heart.

I suspect anyone who has read both this book as well as The Crimson Petal and the White is constitutionally incapable of avoiding comparison.

For me, Crimson Petal gets the nod in the novel-about-fascinating-women-set-in-Victorian-England run-off. But this one shines, too.

The writing is vivid, the language is colorful even in the title — fingersmith for pickpocket , the plot is engaging, and the emotions are, uh — what was that word?

I say this because I have 30 friends that added the title on their TBR shelf. I was also one of them as I've bought the paperback two years ago and I only convinced myself to read it now.

I do not regret finally taking the plunge and I recommend my friends to go ahead and do the same because it is worth it.

Fingersmith is a novel that is strongly based on its plot so I will not say too much about it here. Susan Tinder is an orphan raised by Ms.

Sucksby in Victorian London house of schemers and thieves. One of the regular visitors to the house, Gentleman, makes Sue an offer she cannot refuse.

She is asked to help him relieve a young woman, Maud, of her fortune. The young woman lives in a Gothic, secluded manor together with his strange uncle.

Do expect some crazy plot twists, some of them quite preposterous. Sarah Waters is a wonderful storyteller and she manages to perfectly recreate the atmosphere of Victorian London.

There is a bit of Dickens feel to this novel which drawn me even more into the adventures of the two young women.

Fingersmith tells the story of charming con-man Richard Rivers Rupert Evans , who embarks upon the most ambitious scam of his life.

His plan is to defraud wealthy young heiress Maud Lilly Elaine Cassidy by seducing her into eloping with him. Since she was orphaned, Sue has been brought up amongst pickpockets and charlatans.

She's been protected and cared for by Mrs Sucksby Imelda Staunton , who believes Sue is too good a girl to get directly involved in such a world.

Maud and Sue are of a similar age and appearance but their experience of life couldn't be further apart. Maud's existence is one of wealth and prosperity inside a grand house, where her duties are limited to nightly readings to her uncle and his friends.
