ABOUT THE EVENT
Books on Tap, Phoenixville Public Library’s book discussion group for adults in their 20s and 30s, will meet virtually on Tuesday, May 25 at 7:30 PM. The group will discuss Fingersmith by Sarah Waters. The novel is a spellbinding, twisting tale of a great swindle, of fortunes and hearts won and lost, set in Victorian London among a family of thieves. Sue Tinder is an orphan, left as an infant in the care of Mrs. Sucksby, a “baby farmer,” who raises her with unusual tendersness. The household also hosts a transient family of petty thieves–fingersmiths. One day, the most beloved thief of all arrives–Gentleman, a somewhat elegant conman, who has an enticing proposition for Sue. No one and nothing is as it seems to be in this Dickensian novel of thrills and surprises.
