LMA Book Group: Sarah Waters - Fingersmith

Meeting monthly to explore a range of London writing, with a remit covering fiction and non-fiction for all periods in London's History.

For each session, a display of original archive material is available to stimulate discussion. All are welcome to attend - though if you haven't read the book there may well be spoilers!

The LMA Book Group remains a virtual discussion group and we meet monthly via Zoom.

June's read will be Fingersmith by Sarah Waters. Sue Trinder, orphaned at birth, grows up among petty thieves – fingersmiths – under the rough but loving care of Mrs Sucksby and her 'family'. But from the moment she draws breath, Sue's fate is linked to that of another orphan growing up in a gloomy mansion not too many miles away. An atmospheric thriller that provides a contemporary slant on the Victorian sensation novel.
