Description
In late-Victorian England, a young oyster girl named Nan King finds her world turned upside down when she falls for Kitty Butler, a charismatic music hall performer who commands the stage in male attire. Their passionate affair leads them to the vibrant, often perilous, world of London's burgeoning queer scene. Through Nan's eyes, Sarah Waters masterfully unfolds a sweeping narrative of self-discovery, exploring the complexities of love, identity, and survival across different facets of lesbian life.
