Synopsis

A unique spin on the romance genre from New York Times bestselling author M. C. BeatonI am going to die, Polly thought. The crowd clamored for a speech. Polly raised her hands, and they fell silent. From the foot of the gallows, she asked the spectators why she, a poor woman, should hang for theft, while the abbess of Covent Garden can commit murder on the souls of innocent country girls over and over again and yet go free—and then she condemned them to hell.

Moll Flanders, only not depressing. Would make an awesome Masterpiece Theater series. Whomever designed the cover for this (audio) edition should be fired, since this is a late 18th century setting and the cover illustration is over a hundred years off, fashion wise.

It's written by M.C. Beaton, but under the name of Sarah Chester. It doesn't feel like a typical Beaton romp. A stronger heroin in a Dickensian-like darker world.......more
