Wiktoriańska Anglia, 1862 rok. Susan Trinder i Maud Lilly mają po osiemnaście lat, obie są sierotami, obie straciły matki w dramatycznych okolicznościach. Sue Trinder, córka złodziejki i morderczyni, mieszka w Londynie przy Lant Street, w domu oszusta i pasera, gdzie codziennie załatwia się brudne interesy. Panna Maud Lilly - wykształcona młoda dama - wychowuje się w Briar, posiadłości wuja, miłośnika i kolekcjonera nader specyficznego gatunku książek. Pewnego dnia losy obu dziewcząt się łączą. Niezwykła i zaskakująca historia, utrzymana w duchu powieści Dickensa i Wilkiego Collinsa.

In the end, too similar to "The Handmaiden" to keep my interest. Wish I would have read it before watching the movie - they both seem fantastic.
