An intriguing and genuinely fun book, about a gang of women who use their nifty fingers and skills in observation and sleight of hand to steal items from department stores that were big back in 20s unlike today where they are relatively thin. We follow a two characters one who’s born into an easy life and yet yearns for excitement and the other who was born into a life of hardship and yet also dreams of glitter and diamonds and luxury but had to steal what she can get. These two women from different sides of the streets of London find themselves meeting and being connected in different ways. I liked the boldness and vitality of Ruby but found Harriet a bit staid and too mild, I understand that the times were different and views on women working were rather looked down on, but I feel she gave up on her beliefs too easy for my liking. This is a good book though and reveals fascinating details into the life of a gang of thieves all women.
