   I read this as a teen and rated it 4 stars. I don't know what was wrong with me a decade ago but this is so a 5 star book. It's actually improved upon a second and third reading as you see all the plot points coming together. Spoilers below: At first Maud seems eye-rollingly innocent and meek, which bugged me at first.

At first, after reading the book's plot summary, I expected it to be a rompish, Les Liaisons Dangereuses -like adventure. 17-year old Susan Trinder, a foster kid in a family of fingersmiths (thieves), is recruited to act as a lady's maid to equally young and wealthy Maud Lilly.

   Is 'fingersmiths' like Charles Dickens meets Gillian Flynn?

   • The novel is like Charles Dickens meets Gillian Flynn, mixed with a romance I still can’t stop thinking about months later, honestly. This engrossing, atmospheric story takes us to the slums of nineteenth-century London, where Sue Trinder is an orphan who has been raised by petty thieves—“fingersmiths.”

   Is a fingersmith a pickpocket?

   • A fingersmith is a pickpocket, and Oliver Twist is explicitly mentioned on the first page (and a couple of times thereafter). Unsurprising but harmless. There are indirect allusions to Don Quixote, when it's suggested that too much "literature" might trigger madness, and a librarian is “a curator of poisons”.
