Riassunto

Born into poverty in the Liverpool slums and sold into prostitution at the age of eleven, orphaned Linny Gow uses her wits to reinvent herself as a proper young Victorian lady and joins the "fishing fleet" of poor young women of good birth who sail for India to find husbands, only to discover that respectable married life brings its own form of imprisonment. 25,000 first printing.
