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 Fingersmith or The Little Stranger, 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.
