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 Fingersmith a place where she was legally as good Fingersmith 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 Fingersmith was the cash. She took in unwed Fingersmith for cash, Fingersmith their babies for cash, and Fingersmith the mother-load with Susan's inheritance. She always treated Susan like a precious possession, which she was, Fingersmith Sue, not knowing better, mistook that for unconditional love. See all 27 questions about Fingersmith….

This novel, for me all pastiche, pasteboard Fingersmith mirrors, really irritated me principally because I could have read two good novels in the time it took me to wade through it. Waters Fingersmith This novel, for Fingersmith all pastiche, pasteboard and mirrors, really irritated me principally because I could have read two good novels Fingersmith the time it took me to wade through it. Waters overwrites every Fingersmith scene, always telling us far too much, always throwing yet more wood on the fire which has the effect of continually tipping the emotional Fingersmith 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 Fingersmith 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 Fingersmith the library, is here Fingersmith 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. View all 41 comments. 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 taleA real treat for Fingersmith of this Fingersmith or for readers who enjoy well written historical fiction with vivid and interesting characters and Fingersmith errie sense of time and place. This is what 5 Stars books are made of for Fingersmith. 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 Fingersmith chance in Fingersmith 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 Fingersmith you are drawn into Fingersmith London of and at times throughout this tightly woven plot I felt myself holding my breath and Fingersmith to skip pages just to see the characters fates as I just was that caught up in the plot. Fingersmith is a love story at the heart of this novel that is beautifully written and real. A charming but Fingersmith tale full of villains, intrigue and secrets. This book was a lengthy Fingersmith and probably could have benefited with being cut back by pages and not affected the story in the least. The Fingersmith that the story is told from the viewpoint of two of the characters does make it a little repetitive. And that Fingersmith my measure of really good book. View all 28 comments. A tricky book to review, partly because it didn't live up to my possibly Fingersmith high hopes and partly because I'm trying to write shorter, punchier reviews, but this was almost pages long. I have failed Great Expectations Fingersmith is an award-winning historical novelist, who specialises in the Victorian period Fingersmith lesbian protagonists. This book Fingersmith shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Orange Prize and Fingersmith PhD thesis even covers a key subject of this book.
