emilysteve 's review for:
Fingersmith
by Sarah Waters
A re-read because I needed something to read and it had been a good decade or so since I read it. It was interesting to see how it read when you know the twist , and I did still enjoy without that revelation halfway through. Sarah Waters is so popular for a reason - it's deeply atmospheric, impeccably structured and the characters mostly have great depth - apart from Gentleman and Maud's uncle, which I hadn't thought about before. Both of those characters, because they're only seen through the eyes of two people who have very specificaly slanted views of them, are never quite seen fully. I quite like that - that even finishing a book which switches perspectives and does the whole 'here's what you missed the first time', there are still things we don't know.
