I loved this book! The characters were completely believable and you cared about them. I am still filled with the characters and the story even after having had finished it a few weeks ago. What i thought was especially unique about the book, is that intersperced throughout the story, the author/narrator speaks directly to the reader in a personal manner. The story is about a young prostitute from Victorian England, who by no fault of her own got "into the life". And about others whose lives touched or ran parallel to hers. Her character was unique, interesting and complicated as is the case with us humans. A really good book.
