Item: Sarah Waters, Tipping the Velvet (Virago V S.)
Basically, this book, Sarah Waters, Tipping the Velvet is amazing.

Sarah Waters, Fingersmith: I have become so caught up in this story it has inspired me to begin or should I say try to right the story that is in my head. If my book is 1/8 as good as this one I will be happy.

Suddenly the whole book makes sense, coming full-circle and bringing characters once thought irrelivant to the forefront. We are drawn up to the hights of passion and dropped from them into the depths of betrayal ...

"Affinity" is a moving and subtly erotic novel that deftly and surprisingly carries the reader into the passionate embrace of a prison and its female inmates. Selina, a Spiritualist inmate subtly entices Margaret, a young lonely spinster, with her psychic charms and alluring sensuality.
Falling prey to Selina's charms, Margaret is thrust into a world of hidden love, Spiritualism and mediumship, culminating in heart-throbbing illicit and emotionally-charged endeavors. The reader ...

Item: Sarah Waters - Affinity
The book 'Sarah Waters Affinity' is about a relationship that develops between two Victorian women. One is Margaret, a lady of fairly good social standing who is pretty much past marriageable age and is recovering from some kind of deep (and initially unspecified) emotional trauma, perhaps connected to the death of her father. The other is Selena, a spiritualist who has been jailed for alleged assault and fraud.
The story takes the form of a series of diary entries from both the main ...
