I read Tipping The Velvet which I really enjoyed - what are her other books like? i've read the first few pages of Fingersmith.

I read the first chapter of Tipping the Velvet and was blown away. I'm looking to uy her books (esp. that one) and read the whole thing.

I found it very poetic and beautiful. Sorry I cant tell you about her other books... but I'm thinking they're like a continuing of this one??

..i could be wrong.

what is the subject matter?

Fingersmith is amazing. I'd say it's one of my favourite books. I've lent it lots of people & they all loved it too. It's got so many twists & revelations, one of which is so shocking it gave me shivers. I didn't think Affinity was that great though. Her newest one, The Night Watch is good - the period detail is amazing, but it's not a patch on Fingersmith.

yeah i think Fingersmith has some of the same themes as 'Tipping....'
