BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My teaser this week is from Fingersmith, by Sarah Waters. The description, via Amazon, is a “hypnotic suspense novel is awash with all manner of gloomy Dickensian leitmotifs: pickpockets, orphans, grim prisons, lunatic asylums, ‘laughing villains,’ and, of course, ‘stolen fortunes and girls made out to be mad.’ Divided into three parts, the tale is narrated by two orphaned girls whose lives are inextricably linked.”

The teaser:

I am seventeen when Richard Rivers comes to Briar with a plot and a promise and the story of a gullible girl who can be fooled into helping me do it.

If you haven’t read Fingersmith, I HIGHLY recommend it. Review coming soon!
