Description
Sue Trinder's life has been one of tender care and calculated risk. Born an orphan, she was entrusted to Mrs. Sucksby, a "baby farmer" with a unique approach to raising her charges. This household, nestled in the heart of a London slum, is home to a transient family of petty thieves, known as fingersmiths. When Gentleman, an elegant con man, arrives with a proposition, Sue agrees to help him seduce Maud Lilly, a naive gentlewoman, in exchange for a share of her vast inheritance. As Sue navigates this complex web of deception and loyalty, she begins to pity her helpless mark and care for Maud in unexpected ways. But nothing is as it seems in this gripping tale of thrills and reversals. With its intricate plot and complex characters, Fingersmith is a masterful novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat. With its dark and atmospheric setting, this Penguin paperback brings to life Sarah Waters' vivid storytelling, suited to readers of historical fiction and thrillers.
