在追求真愛的旅程中，
如何才能找到自我認同的契機與生命的出口？
在英國偏遠的濱海小鎮，少女南兒深受男裝麗人凱蒂吸引，打破一般女性的傳統宿命，追隨偶像前往劇場重鎮的倫敦，勇敢迎向不可知的未來。在五光十色的舞台生涯，南兒的命運會有何重大轉變？又會產生哪些意想不到的危機？
莎拉‧華特絲以第一人稱筆法，娓娓道來主角南兒奇特波折的人生歷練，更將同性之間的情愫鋪陳得深刻動人，不僅體現了維多利亞時代的社會風貌，更放大審視社會邊緣人群的心靈點滴與生活困境。這是一個關於愛的故事，也是一段被社會遺忘的族群生命紀事。

Tipping the Velvet was the first ever Sarah Waters novel I read. I was really young at the time, maybe thirteen, perhaps fourteen, and this book took my breath away.I got captivated by Kitty Butler just like Nan did. I couldn't tear myself away from this book. I binge read this so quickly, I can barely remember everything that happened. However, I loved this.I'm not a fan of historical. I'm not a fan of romance. But this historical romance seriously enamoured me. I lost so much time to this book, reading it twice over before I took it back to the library.This book is the book that introduced me to LGBTQ+ novels, and it is a firm favourite of mine. It's educational, to a degree, about Victorian England, and I learned a lot about this time frame that I checked out to be 100% true. I loved this book so much, and I cannot wait to get my own copy in order to reread it and review it all over again. This is something from my childhood I can't forget, for all the good reasons. This is one of the books that was a changing point in my life.
