PASSION ET REPENTIR

Description:

Wartime confusion, stolen identity, reformation of fallen women, all tossed together by Collins in this sensation novel about the strict rules and principles of Victorian society against erring or working women. An easy read, if not perhaps in the first ranks of the Wilkie gold standard. Recommended.
