À propos de ce contenu audio
Brought to you by Penguin.
For fans of BBC TV's hit series Harlots.
My tale is not for the faint of heart.
Born illegitimate in 18th-century England, Henrietta Lightfoot reveals the truth about the events that shaped her in this candid confessional of a wide-eyed girl's journey to worldliness.
Forced to flee her childhood home for the capital, Henrietta falls face first into a demi-monde of rakes, rogues, wits, pimps and courtesans. It is not long before she realises that true liberty is a privilege to be enjoyed by men. But Henrietta is determined to find independence.
In this deliciously deviant novel, Rubenhold illuminates the dark lives of the women written out of 18th-century literature by the great male writers. Vibrant and full-blooded, it is an enthralling picaresque story for our times.
