I finished Fingersmith this weekend, and it was great. Sarah Waters is a genius when it comes to dialogue. She captures so much detail and feeling in her dialogue, which really makes this book fly by. I don't know what I was expecting from my first Sarah Waters novel, but I was not expecting such a thrilling second half! The first half is heartwarming and insightful, while the second half is extremely fast paced and thrilling. The plot twists come suddenly and are suprising. I was blind sighted, which does not happen that often. I can't wait to read more books by this author.
The author was born in 1966 and has to date written a total of 4 novels. Her other works include Tipping the Velvet, Affinity, and her newest novel The Night Watch. She has been awarded much critical acclaim for all of her novels both from mainstream media and from the gay and lesbian comunity.
Bottom line.. I can't wait to read her other novels and can only hope they are as detailed and beautiful as Fingersmith. You will love it!

I agree 100%! I read the last half in 1 day it was so catching! I'm sure I will check out the only 1 other book by Miss Waters that the library owns ASAP. :) Good pick!
