Description

Moll Flanders is a vivid and unflinching account of life on the margins. Born in Newgate Prison, Moll recounts her journey from abandonment to survival, using wit and guile to navigate a world that seems determined to crush her.

With a career that spans husband-hunting, prostitution, and pick-pocketing, Moll's story is one of unapologetic opportunism. But as the years take their toll, it becomes clear that this is a woman who has walked a fine line between redemption and disaster.

This Penguin Classics edition includes a chronology, notes on currency, and maps to help bring Moll's world to life. With its rich historical context and unflinching narrative, Moll Flanders is a gripping and thought-provoking read that will leave you questioning the boundaries between right and wrong.
