trade-size paperback.

from the back cover:
Born in 1748 in working-class London, Mary Saunders lusts for linen, lace, and a shiny red ribbon that leads her to a life of prostitution - and a freedom unknown to virtuous young women. There are, however, three rules of the London streets that she knows she mustn't ever forget: Never give up your liberty; Clothes make the woman; Clothes are the greatest lie ever told.

I wanted to like this book more than I did. I loved Donoghue's "Room" so much that I had high expectations for this one. The story felt a little flat, I think, and I just couldn't get into Mary's character. What I did like about the book was reading other characters' point of view, particularly how they described and interacted with Mary, which almost made her a different character depending on how was doing the describing.
