From the oyster huts of Whitstable to the music halls of Victorian
London, Tipping the Velvet is the glorious first novel from this
much-loved author 'Piercing the shadows of the naked stage was a
single shaft of rosy limelight, and in the centre of this was a
girl: the most marvellous girl - I knew it at once! - that I had
ever seen.' A saucy, sensuous and multi-layered historical romance,
Tipping the Velvet follows the glittering career of Nan King -
oyster girl turned music-hall star turned rent boy turned East End
'tom'. 'Erotic and absorbing... Written with startling power' New
York Times Book Review 'An unstoppable read, a sexy and picaresque
romp through the lesbian and queer demi-monde of the roaries
Nineties' Independent on Sunday 'Waters is an extremely confident
writer, combining precise, sensuous descriptions with irony and
wit' Observer
