A saucy, sensuous and multi-layered historical romance set in the 'roaring' 1890s, Tipping the Velvet follows the glittering career of Nan King on her journey from Whitstable oyster-girl to music-hall star to cross-dressing rentboy to East End 'tom'.

This is such a well crafted tale that when I finished reading it I had to read it again the second I had finished. The main character is so likeable in her naivete and as she starts to learn about real life so does the reader, it all becomes a discovery of life. It is the pure imagination of the story and how uncommon it is that makes this book stand out and this writer one to watch.
