This is an 834 page hardback novel, the story of Sugar - a nineteen-year-old whore - who falls, rises and ...... The setting is 1870's London but it's not simply a Victorian novel, it also has a very modern feel. Read it as quickly as you can and beg Michel Faber with me to give us a follow-up very soon!
