Fingersmith by Sarah Waters
Fingersmith is a 2002 historical crime novel set in Victorian-era Britain by Sarah Waters.
Not sure this just isn't for me, or if the audiobook isn't the right format. Having a hard time following the story, don't like any of the characters, find the writing clumsy (characters saying their own name? Others serving as exposition machines?), and there's explicit and persistent fatphobia. Hard to put my finger on exactly what I don't like about the female characters; it may just be that they're talking exclusively about men and bloodlines (aka childbearing) so far. It's looking like a DNF; I may give it another try, I may not.
