To begin with, I was felt cheated by the somewhat abrupt end, wanting to know more about what happened to the characters. There are a number of supporting characters, and rather than the usual story of a "tart with a heart" winning her man, "Pretty Woman" style, it is the slow development of love in those characters who both crave it and think they're beyond it. ![]() ![]() The story weaves through Sugar and William meeting and her deciding to improve her lot because of William's infatuation for her. The main characters are Sugar, a much sought after prostitute with many qualities not usually found in the fallen women of fiction, and William, a typical Victorian father who thinks he is anything but typical of his class and time. The book is a narration of several intertwined people's lives over the period of about a year, the narrator being an integral part.Through these lives, a story of how love comes into the most unlikely of lives. This book is the "Marmite" of historical fiction readers/listeners will either love it or loathe it. ![]()
