I absolutely loved this book! A riveting and fast-paced epic full of drama, passion, romance - the works! "Tipping the Velvet" follows protagonist Nancy through a tumultuous journey from her start as an innocent small town girl to her rise to theatre star and more (I don't want to give too much away). I also found this to be a great work of historical fiction and felt that the author really captured what life might have been like for a lesbian living in Victorian era London. Don't let the fact that this is a lesbian centered romance dissuade you if that is not your orientation, everyone will find something to relate to and enjoy this one. I certainly did.
