"Sugar is a 19 year old prostitute in Victorian London who yearns to escape to a better life. From the brothel of the terrifying Mrs. Castaway, she begins her ascent through society. Beginning with Wm. Rackham, a perfume magnate whose lust for Sugar soon begins to smell like love, she meets a host of lovable, maddening, unforgettable characters as her social rise is overseen by assorted preening socialites, drunken journalists, untrustworthy sevants, vile guttersnipes and whores of all kinds."
This book is VERY LONG, but very good. The writing is rich and very vivid. You can't help but to care for Sugar and her quest for a better life. At first the book is confusing in how it introduces the characters, but stick with it because you will love how the story unfolds.
