About This Product
Born to rough cloth in working-class London in 1748, Mary Saunders hungers for linen and lace. Her lust for fine clothes leads her to a life of prostitution at a young age, where she encounters a freedom unknown to virtuous young women. But a dangerous misstep sends her fleeing to the household of Mrs. Jones, to become the seamstress her mother always expected her to be. Although Mary becomes a close confidante of Mrs. Jones, her desire for a better life leads her back to prostitution. Little does she know that her lust for clothes will be her downfall.
Donoghue's sensually charged prose casts a new sheen on the squalour and glamour of 18th-century England. A masterful piece of historical fiction.
