Description
Henrietta Lightfoot's story is one of survival in a world designed for men. Born illegitimate in eighteenth-century England, she flees her childhood home for the big city, where she quickly becomes embroiled in the London underworld of rakes, rogues, and courtesans. With true liberty a man's privilege, Henrietta must navigate a dark and treacherous landscape to stay alive. This gripping tale of a young woman's struggle for independence is full of twisty turns and shocking revelations. It's a story that combines extraordinary bawdiness with silky sophistication, offering a fresh perspective on the lives of women written out of history. With its vibrant and full-blooded narrative, Mistress of My Fate is a compelling read for anyone interested in the lives of women in the eighteenth century.
