Tipping the Velvet – Sarah Waters

once again,
a superb great brilliant plot from Sarah Waters!

this one has three parts,
as the same with the rest of her stories

this one tells of an oyster girl
and her journey of discovery
of herself, love and hardships

first part tells of
her story with the stage impersonator
a girl who acts like a guy on stage
how they whisk off to London
and soon stage shows together

the second part tells of
her seedy works
and the deal she made with her newfound “mistress”

the third part tells of
her working a a “maid”
for an old friend
and how she discovers so much more about her own life

i hope i didnt give out too much info
to spoil the twists and turns
but indeed
it is a story not to be missed

however, be warned
this story contains very vivid sexuality themes & scenes
but otherwise, superb plot
especially in terms of human relationships with one another
