It's 1887 and Nancy Astley sits in the audience at her local music
hall: she doesn't know it yet, but the next act on the bill will
change her life. Tonight is the night she'll fall in love... with
the thrill of the stage and with Kitty Butler, a girl who wears
trousers. Giddy with desire and hungry for experience, Nancy
follows Kitty to London where unimaginable adventures await. Sarah
Waters' debut novel, Tipping the Velvet was highly acclaimed and
was chosen by The New York Times and The Library Journal as one of
the best books of 1998. Reviewers have offered the most praise for
Tipping the Velvet's use of humour, adventure, and sexual
explicitness. The novel was adapted into a somewhat controversial
three-part series of the same name produced and broadcast by the
BBC in 2002.
