Crimson Petal and the White by

Michel Faber

Reviews

"This is an unputdownable book; there is no choice but to give in to this most unbelievably pleasurable of narrative rides … Faber’s take on the nineteenth century English novel is a heady and intoxicating mixture of affection, respect and scabrous resistance."

The Times

Amongst an unforgettable cast of low-lifes, physicians, businessmen and prostitutes, meet our heroine Sugar, a young woman trying to drag herself up from the gutter any way she can. Be prepared for a mesmerising tale of passion, intrigue, ambition and revenge.

An International Bestseller.

“To a man born without conscience, a soul-stricken man must seem ridiculous. To a criminal, honesty is foolish. You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a monster the norm is monstrous.”
