About this item
The Library Thief is a spellbinding Gothic mystery set in 1896, weaving together themes of race, gender, and self-discovery in Victorian England. Florence, brought from Jamaica as a baby by her father, has always struggled to fit in. Her father tried to make her look like other girls by hot-combing her hair, but as a young woman, Florence is fiercely independent and not easily controlled. When she brings scandal to her father's doorstep, he casts her out onto the streets of Manchester.

Desperate and resourceful, Florence intercepts her father's latest commission and finds her way to Rose Hall, a forbidding mansion where she secures a job restoring rare books in Lord Francis Belfield's vast library. The library is ancient and filled with secrets, but none captivate Florence as much as the whispers surrounding Lord Belfield’s late wife.

As Florence delves deeper into her work and the mysteries of Rose Hall, she uncovers secrets that have been carefully hidden away. Her journey becomes not only about unraveling the mysteries of the library but also about discovering her own identity in a society that seeks to define her.

With evocative prose and a tightly woven plot, The Library Thief by O'Connor is a propulsive tale that blends the atmospheric tension of a Gothic novel with a profound exploration of race and gender. Florence's story is one of resilience and courage, offering a striking look at the challenges faced by a woman of color in Victorian England. This novel is a captivating read that will keep you hooked until the very last page.
