Shelf Control is a feature where bloggers pick an unread book from our shelves and talk about it a little. It's supposed to be a Wednesday thing but I have French Movie Mercredi on Wednesdays already, so. Shelf Control is hosted at BookshelfFantasies.com.

Why I Want to Read It:
A crime novel set in Victorian England and described as "female and sexually aware" by one critic, it was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2002 and I am always
interested in Booker winning and nominated books. Blurbs used words like
"pulsating" and "astonishing" to describe it. It's a crime novel with lots of twists and turns or so I've heard, and the basis for the delicious thriller The Handmaiden; I loved that movie and ever since seeing it in the theater I've been meaning to read Fingersmith and compare the two.
