Fingersmith

It's hard to discuss this book without providing spoilers. All I am going to say about it is that it is an absolute wonderful piece of writing. The characters are so well developed and complex. And the author's great detail to the way the rich and poor lived in Victorian London transports you back in time. 

The book grabbed hold of me from the very first page. When life's annoying demands interrupted my reading, it was all I could do to stop thinking about Sue, Maud, and the rest of the wonderful characters and what would happen to them next. A definite page turner. I was so engrossed in this read that it did not even feel like a 500+ page novel. I am definitely going to read more of this author's work.
