ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Fingersmith by Sarah Waters is a Victorian-era novel centered around a complex scheme involving two women, one raised in a London den of thieves, and the other in a country manor. The plot unfolds as a deception, where the woman from the thieves' den is sent to a secluded estate to defraud a wealthy heiress, but the scheme takes unexpected turns, leading to a tangled web of hidden identities and betrayals. The novel explores themes of social class, manipulation, and the search for self-discovery, while creating a world of stark contrasts between the hidden underbelly of London and the oppressive nature of a secluded country house.
