Fingersmith by Sarah Waters<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Not Your Typical Love Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sarah Waters’ “Fingersmith” dives right into the dark side of Victorian England headfirst! It’s a story full of surprises, with twists and turns that will keep you guessing. So we start off by meeting Sue, a young woman who’s good at picking pockets. She basically a small time gangster of the time period. Life on the streets has been tough, but she’s smart and can handle herself. Then we meet this guy. A shady character named Gentleman that tricks Sue into helping him steal money from a rich woman named Maud. (I got a creepy feeling from him). And now the game is afoot…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OK, so what’s the plan? Here we go….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plan is to get close to Maud, have her locked away in a mental hospital, and take all her stuff! But things get messy when Sue actually starts to care about Maud. Now Sue has to decide who to trust and what’s the right thing to do. The funny thing is that most often we know what the right thing to do is. Choosing to do it is another story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Can You Believe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Fingersmith” is more than just a caper. It’s a story about secrets and lies. Everyone seems to be hiding something, and it’s hard to know who’s telling the truth. Sue wrestles with her past as a thief and her newfound feelings for Maud. Maud, lonely and confused, isn’t sure who to trust either. The suspense builds as you wonder what will happen next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Characters You Can Root For (or Against!)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The people in “Fingersmith” aren’t all good or all bad. Sue might steal things, but she’s also kind of brave. Maud seems helpless, but she’s stronger than you think. Waters makes you care about the characters, even when they make bad choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Trip Through Victorian London’s Seedy Side<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Get ready for a trip to a different time! Waters paints a picture of Victorian England that’s not all fancy balls and proper ladies. We see the dirty streets and dark alleys where poor people struggle to survive. This gritty setting makes the story feel even more real. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Gripping Page-Turner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Fingersmith” is a book you won’t want to put down. The plot races along, with surprising turns that will keep you guessing. By the end, you’ll be thinking about the characters and the story long after you finish reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
