i love sarah water fingersmith and and be worry about the tv adaptation a i would be disappoint by the bbc version of tip the velvet ( which although beautiful to look at be let down by keeley hawes not be able to sing and and rachael stirling not be able to act ) . fingersmith be a very tightly plot novel with breath take twist and turn and i wonder if this could be do justice to in just 3 hour . i needn not have worry . the adaptation be excellent and very little cut out and and go along at a crack pace ( although i do wonder whether if you hadn not read the book and would you miss thing . ) . it have the look and feel of a bbc classic costume drama and i keep have to remind myself that this be a contemporary book . the acting be stellar . sally hawkins act her heart out a sue trinder and and elaine cassidy and a slow burner and who by the end of the story be incandescent a maud lilley . the love and the passion and the realisation of the act of betrayal both would have to perform and be write on their face . it be a joy to watch . i hope rachael stirling be watch represent that how you play a sarah water character .
