1. Tipping the Velvet

By Sarah Waters 

Another great Victorian romp by the talented Sarah Waters, but it didn't blow my mind like Fingersmith.  

Tipping the Velvet (1998) was Waters' debut novel and Fingersmith (2002) was her third and last novel set in the Victorian period.  So I need to find her second novel, Affinity.  I feel that the quality of her work had gone down since Fingersmith (which I count as an all-time favourite), as The Night Watch was rather meh.
