From the author of the New York Times Notable Book Tipping the Velvet and the award-winning Affinity: a spellbinding, twisting tale of a great swindle, of fortunes and hearts won and lost, set in Victorian London among a family of thieves.
Sue Trinder is an orphan, left as an infant in the care of Mrs. Sucksby, a "baby farmer," who raised her with unusual tenderness, as if Sue were her own. Mrs. Sucksby's household, with its fussy babies calmed with doses of gin, also hosts a transient family of petty thieves-fingersmiths-for whom this house in the heart of a mean London slum is home.
One day, the most beloved thief of all arrives-Gentleman, a somewhat elegant con man, who carries with him an enticing proposition for Sue: If she wins a position as the maid to Maud Lilly, a naïve gentlewoman, and aids Gentleman in her seduction, then they will all share in Maud's vast inheritance. Once the inheritance is secured, Maud will be left to live out her days in a mental hospital. With dreams of paying back the kindness of her adopted family, Sue agrees to the plan. Once in, however, Sue begins to pity her helpless mark and care for Maud Lilly in unexpected ways. . . . But no one and nothing is as it seems in this > Dickensian novel of thrills and surprises.
The New York Times Book Review has called Sarah Waters a writer of "consummate skill" and The Seattle Times has praised her work as "gripping, astute fiction that feeds the mind and the senses." Fingersmith marks a major leap forward in this young and brilliant career.

评分本来以为是个女同的爱情故事,结果——看到第二部心情整个不好,看到第三部完全致郁
爱情可贵金钱价高若为自由二皆可抛。李莫德就是这样想的,虽然她没有归纳总结到咱这样的理论高度。 李莫德年方十七,山谷里的野百合似的,从乡村大宅的窗户里,盼望着伦敦的春天。莫德识文断字,博览群书,还帮她舅搞目录索引,算是个小小的知识分子,但足不能出户,什么都知...

评分 评分在看《荆棘之城》之前,我已经先看了BBC改编剧《指匠情挑》,一部悬疑重重,情感细腻的精彩作品。所以,看原著时,我很担心是否会影响阅读效果,毕竟,悬疑一去,感觉似乎少了很多东西,但是开始阅读之后,这样的顾虑就很快消散,毕竟,这不是一部纯推理小说,悬疑只是故事的...
