Ladra
In Victorian England, Sue Trinder grows up among thieves and confidence tricksters before being recruited into a scheme to defraud the sheltered heiress Maud Lilly. Sue becomes Maud’s maid, intending to help a charming fraudster secure her fortune, but intimacy between the two young women unsettles the plan and exposes layers of deception neither understands. The novel turns a criminal confidence trick into a dark story of identity, imprisonment, class and desire.
