"Lavishly crammed with the songs, smells, and costumes of late Victorian England" (The Daily Telegraph), this delicious, steamy debut novel chronicles the adventures of Nan King, who begins life as an oyster girl in the provincial seaside town of Whitstable and whose fortunes are forever changed when she falls in love with a cross-dressing music-hall singer named Miss Kitty Butler. When Kitty is called up to London for an engagement on "Grease Paint Avenue, " Nan follows as her dresser and secret lover, and, soon after, dons trousers herself and joins the act.
In time, Kitty breaks her heart, and Nan assumes the guise of butch roue to commence her own thrilling and varied sexual education--a sort of Moll Flanders in drag--finally finding friendship and true love in the most unexpected places.
Drawing comparison to the work of Jeanette Winterson, Sarah Waters's novel is a feast for the senses--an erotic, lushly detailed historical that bursts with life and dazzlingly casts the turn of the century in a different light.
"An unstoppable read, a sexy and picaresque romp through the lesbian and queer demi-monde of the roaring Nineties. It's gorgeous." --The Independent on Sunday (UK)

评分昨天借来的这本书今天就看完了,原本啃原著的计划刚起了个头,却又在寻找Affinity的途中看到了译本,最终还是忍不住中文大块儿跺的那份快感,像饕餮食客般囫囵了这场牡蛎盛宴。 我想我还是看的太快了,我本可以将这份喜悦延长,再延长,像是推迟的前戏和高潮般多吊自己一会儿...
