Tipping The Velvet

This author takes great care in detailing Victorian England's backdrop and the people who lived in it.  I had a lot of fun learning some of the slang of that era. Though I did not find the story as gripping as [b:Fingersmith 45162 Fingersmith Sarah Waters http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327879025s/45162.jpg 1014113] or [b:The Little Stranger 6065182 The Little Stranger Sarah Waters http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348922866s/6065182.jpg 5769396], I found it to be just as original. Waters' plots are just something I haven't come across in any other read, and that is truly refreshing. When I want to read something new, fresh, and unique, I know Waters will not let me down.
