Summary: 5 Stars
I have read Sarah Waters' books (Tipping the Velvet, Affinity and Fingersmith) and have read Tipping the Velvet twice. I am planning on reading Affinity again, because I can not seem to get enough of her writings.....does anyone know when her next book is being published or if there is a next book? I am hooked on Victorian England literature and have not been able to find any other novels that compare to Sarah's vivid descriptions....Truly 3 works of art.Book Review: What a book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first and only book I have ever read that is like this. I was at first truly appalled by the nature and wordings in the book. However, I was able to see the main character for what she was in a society where in those days that type of lifestyle was hidden (and still is in some societies) in closed doors. Awesome book. I enjoyed the entire book and was surprised a numerous of times with the character.Book Review: One of the best novels I have ever read
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely loved this book. It is a story of first love, of sexual awakening and exploration, and of true love. Extremely well written - a great plot and excellent prose. The author brings turn of the century England to vibrant life - as if you could taste, touch, and smell it. Both erotic and touching, I could not put this book down. Among the best novels I have ever read ... definitely my favorite.Book Review: I loved this book
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book because it was listed as a top book by independent book store owners. It then sat on my bookshelf for 3 years before I had the nerve to read it. It's considered lesbian erotica, and I had a hard time getting my mind around that part. Whatever. As it turned out I loved the story. It reminded me of a cross between Jane Austen and Dickens, with an all-female cast. Something like that.
