A review by ellefanning
Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters

slow-paced

4.0

a very mixed bag indeed! nan’s character did a major jump so that she felt changed suddenly from meek to bold, but i guess that’s what heartbreak does sometimes. some things i found maddening to read, but overall, it was enjoyable. it is nice to find such a warm ending for queer women, even if it is largely a fictitious one
