Otherwise, take a moment to improve your cliteracy with this very first airing of Read HER!

Delve into the slippery depths of one of lesbian literature’s most renowned authors and one of her most lauded books. If you’ve read this one already then you’ll probably remember it well. It’s an unforgettable historical tale of crime, passion, lust and betrayal!

Here’s Tennille’s synopsis, see if it catches your fancy:

Fingersmith is the story of Susan Trinder, an orphan raised by Mrs Sucksby in her den of thieves and abandoned babies. The novel tracks her involvement in an intricate plan to steal an innocent girl’s fortune. A thriller, a love story and a shamelessly Dickensian tale that hurls us into the middle of Lance St and the cacophony of characters that scrape by bouncing from scam to scam. Sue is sent to the countryside to maid for the heiress and lady Maud Lilly and to convince her to marry the dashing and deceitful Mr Rivers.

And that’s just the beginning! But it’s best not to give the rest away – you’ve got to go and READ HER!

Fingersmith is available at all good libraries and bookstores.
