"Fingersmith" by Sarah Waters ****

> Setting: Victorian England

> Gothic tale full of twists and turns

> Orphan girls switched @ birth, find out their true origins after intrigue, betrayal, love, loss, and at last....love wins out between the two young women

> Author's writing takes the reader right there....Able to evoke detailed imagery without long boring descriptive passages

> Title: means pickpocket or thief, applies to all of the characters at one time or another in the story

LibraryThing Review: A rollicking, mysterious tale set in Victorian England. This story is full of enough twists and turns, intrigue, and duplicity to satisfy readers in the mood for a wild tale. Who is who? Can good come from bad? Who can one really trust? Read it to find out!!!
