Description
Jenny Diver is a fast-moving action novel based on historical characters from the first half of the eighteenth century. Born Mary Jones in 1700, Jenny's early life was marked by hardship and resilience. After being adopted at ten and given new names, Jenny became a skilled thief and con artist in London, earning the nickname "Jenny Diver" among her gang. Her exploits took her to Virginia twice before she returned to London, where she continued her "business". Eventually, Jenny found herself sharing her story with twenty other convicts in Newgate prison, who were all sentenced to death. This gripping tale of survival and entrepreneurship is a fascinating glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman, whose true identity was shrouded in secrecy for centuries.
