Heya,
Yes! I've read Affinity, and I liked it quite a lot! I love Sarah Waters. My favorite of these three books is still Fingersmith. But, I really loved both Affinity and Tipping the Velvet. I wonder if a movie (or BBC mini-series) will be made of Affinity as happened with the other two. I hope so! That would be great.
I'll admit that Waters' most recent book, The Night Watch, was a bit of a disappointment to me. It just didn't strike me in the same way as Tipping the Velvet, Fingersmith and Affinity.
She's such a great author though... I'll always read her stuff! I hope she has something new in the works for us soon!

Hey Amanda!
After reading Affinity, I was almost depressed at the ending. I think I sensed that it would not end too favorably for Margaret Prior but I was not prepared for the extent of the deceit and fraud. Damn. :-\
I started reading FingerSmith today. I have seen the movie but the book will no doubt be wonderful and more descriptive.
I also read The Night Watch and I loved it. Sarah W. is a very talented author & I appreciate her interest in writing stories set in different times/settings and I love the variety she brings to the table. There are only so many "Tipping the Velvets" she can do before she is sick of the subject, I am sure. ;)
I read somewhere that she is working on another novel (that is not a lesbian-themed story) set in the 1950s. I'll read absolutely anything she writes, so I am waiting for this new book, who knows how long it'll be... :)

Lumière:
I just finished reading FingerSmith tonight. What an absolutely amazing book. :D
I am going to watch the movie tonight, while the world of Sue & Maud is still so fresh in my mind. :)
I also read somewhere that Affinity and The Night Watch are going to be adapted to movies next year.
We'll see what happens.. :)
