Hardback.
"The Crimson Petal and the White takes us back to the 1870s where Sugar, an alluring, ninteen-year-old whore, yearns for a better life. Her ascent through the strata of London society introduces us to a host of loveable, maddening, superbly realised characters - an egotistical perfume manufacturer, his unhinged wife, his pious brother, his hidden child, preening socialites, guttersnipes, whores for all tastes and those zealous would-be reformers of fallen women, the Rescue Society."

RELEASE NOTES:

A copy of this book was fought over quite excitedly during a book swap game at the Salcey Forest meetup. When I saw this copy I thought I'd give it a go and see what all the fuss was about!
