Fingersmith by Sarah Waters
5.0
I had to put the book down a few times while reading the last few chapters to cry about how much I wanted my mother to be with me, and how much I wished she'd get back from work. I cried about how I'd have to leave her for university in a few years, and suddenly the thought of staying home for uni, which I always swore against doing, didn't seem that bad. I cried about how I'd probably have to experience her death in my lifetime, and prayed for the hundredth time that I die before her. I cried about how much abuse she had had to face carrying me in her womb all while being a full time student.
A few other books have made me feel this way. I love how mother-daughter topics in books make me crumble. They make me want to go to my mother and cry and cry and cry and love her as much as I can to somehow make up for all the time I take her for granted.
Anyway, regarding the book: Some of the best romance I've read in a while(don't even want to call it romance, doesn't do it justice. It's so much more). I loved how both the women stayed imperfect to the very end.
First twist shook the earth for me. The next few were good too but nowhere near the first.
Sarah Waters is the best writer I've read from yet.
Great book, I am now in fucking shambles, 10/10
