Book description
Sugar, an alluring, nineteen-year-old whore in the brothel of the
terrifying Mrs Castaway, yearns for a better life and her ascent through
the strata of 1870's London society offers us intimacy with a host of
loveable, maddening and superbly realised characters. Gripping from the
first page, this immense novel is an intoxicating and deeply satisfying
read, not only a wonderful story but the creation of an entire,
extraordinary world.
