Fingersmith

A young pickpocket becomes maid to a secluded heiress as part of a scheme to steal her fortune and have her confined to an asylum. As the plan unfolds, attraction, betrayal, and shifting loyalties complicate their relationship.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like atmospheric period dramas, intricate deceptions, and emotionally charged relationships; Not for you if you prefer fast pacing, simple plots, or minimal melodrama.
