Anyone read this?
It's set in 1760's, about a young girl who becomes a prostitute in London then moves to Monmouth where she is incarcerated in Monmouth prison...that's where the story begins.
Not the sort of thing I normally read, but I enjoyed The Crimson Petal and the White. It's not as good as that, but surprisingly pacy.
She wrote The Room, but this is totally different.
