I read Tipping the Velvet several years ago and liked it pretty well.

I just finished Fingersmith and thought it was really one of the best books I'd read. Maybe now on my own Top 10 list.

Both are set in London and environs circa 1880 and have well-designed plots and the author does an amazing job of putting you right there in a very realistic way.
