Book 64 The Crimson Petal And The White by Michel Faber
9/10 A big book in every way, a Dickens for the 21st century. Believable characters, a satisfying plot and very rude! The main character (Sugar) is a teenage prostitute in the East End. The story tells how she manages to better her situation and clips along over 800 pages. You can almost smell (and touch) Victorian London in this book.
