评分 评分萨拉的小说阴郁,迷人。萨拉其实是——最主流的一流作家。同性只是她表达的一个很小的媒介。她的小说(文字)除了第一部《轻舔丝绒》:清浅的艳丽,其他都是没有颜色,黑色的。 萨拉的小说是心理的。外部世界只是她内心世界是的一部分。包围她的是一个暗的容器。偶尔有那么一...
评分 评分这一次,我没有晕倒。我凝视着萨克比太太的脸,第一次发现我们原来长得如此相似。 我仿佛突然明白了,长久以来,我身上那些邪恶的品行似乎由此找到了真正的原因:我的母亲,既不是疯了的千金小姐,也不是因为杀人而被绞死的贼,她是一个狡猾无情的骗子。如果可以选择,我宁愿我...

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.
so moving is the ending
