The Crimson Petal and the White takes us back to the 1870s where Sugar, an alluring, nineteen-year-old whore, yearns for a better life. Her ascent through the strata of London society introduces us toa host of loveable, maddening, superbly realised characters- an egotistical perfume manufacturer, his unhinged wife, his pious brother, his hidden child, preening socialites, guttersnipes, whores for all tastes and those zealous would-be reformers of fallen women, the Rescue Society. Gripping from the first page, this immense novel of Victorian proportions is an extraordinarily rich intricate, intoxicating and deeply satisfying read. The book is in very good condition throughout. The covers and page edges are a little worn, but all inside pages are clean.
