The Crimson Petal and the White - Michel Faber

Post by Louis Walles »

Title of the book: The Crimson Petal and the White

Authors: Michel Faber

Genres:Fiction

Short summary of the story: The books presents a story of a young woman called Sugar, living during the Victorian Era in England. She is desperately trying to drag herself up from the gutter any way she can. Will she succeed?

Good points / bad points: I was not expecting much from the book because I am not a fan of book settled in the Victorian period, and I also have never heard about Michel Faber. I have to say that I did like the book and the way the live of Sugar was presented. I do recommend this book to all people who enjoy books set in Victorian England.
