Tipping the Velvet
Oyster girl Nan King falls headlong for charismatic male impersonator Kitty Butler in Sarah Waters’s witty, sensual journey through Victorian London. This much-loved story of desire, heartbreak and self-discovery features six richly atmospheric illustrations by Kristin Kwan, whose oil-painted artwork captures the glamour and shadows of Nan’s world, from the music hall stage to London’s hidden queer communities.
