1998 novel by sarah waters5/9/2023 ![]() ![]() With her third novel, Fingersmith (2002), Waters showed no signs of slowing down. Her second novel, Affinity (1999), a dark, spooky story about spiritualism in a Victorian women’s prison, won the Somerset Maugham Prize and resulted in Waters being named the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year. Her first novel, Tipping the Velvet (1998), a coming-out and coming-of-age tale about village girl Nan King’s forays onto the London stage as a male impersonator, was selected as a New York Times Notable Book and was later turned into a BBC miniseries. Not only have her books sold well around the world, they have been adapted into successful BBC television movies-all while being unabashedly, unapologetically, erotically queer. In many ways, Sarah Waters is lesbian fiction’s dream author. ![]()
