Fingersmith Résumé

Fingersmith Avis

The prize-winning author of Tipping the Velvet and Affinity has produced a new novel full of dark secrets as well as insanity and erotic love. Sue Trinder, orphaned at birth and brought up by fingersmiths (petty thieves) becomes part of a complex scam to obtain a fortune when she is 17. It involves her in becoming a lady's maid - these are Dickensian times - and it is not long before things start to go very wrong. She becomes involved with another orphan growing up in a gloomy country mansion. It is an extraordinarily vivid story which conjures up a brilliant picture of the period.
