The work "The Fingersmith" was adapted by the BBC into the famous British drama "The Fingersmith". It tells the story of Mr. Li and his niece Maud living in a large manor in the suburbs of London. Mr. Li has a surly personality, which drives Maud to organize and read aloud books in the library all day long. The poor girl has never stepped outside the manor since she was a child, and lives a life of darkness.
One day, the intrusion of a stranger brought life to Maud's long-desired soul. He was Rivers who came to teach Maud to paint, but his true identity turned out to be a thief. He heard that Maud had a dowry of 40,000 pounds, so he came up with a way to make money through marriage fraud.
In order to ensure success, Rivers recruited Soda, a member of the theft gang, and after arrangement, Sue became Maude's personal maid. With careful planning step by step, things developed in the direction expected by Rivers, but soon took a turn for the worse. It turned out that everything was not as simple as Su imagined. A big conspiracy that had been carefully brewed more than ten years ago was waiting for everyone, and a truth like a bolt from the blue was about to come out.
A gothic suspense that twists and turns, a pure literature full of nineteenth-century tidbits, and a female writing filled with life experience. The conspiracy is vast, but hope is stirring; the deception is confusing, but love is abundant.
