The Crimson Petal And The White Résumé

The Crimson Petal And The White Michel Faber

Sugar, an alluring, nineteen-year-old whore in the brothel of the terrifying Mrs Castaway, yearns for a better life and her ascent through the strata of 1870's London society offers us intimacy with a host of loveable, maddening and superbly realised characters. Gripping from the first page, this immense novel is an intoxicating and deeply satisfying read, not only a wonderful story but the creation of an entire, extraordinary world.

The Crimson Petal And The White Avis

From the opening pages it is clear that Faber writes some of the most ravishingly beautiful prose of any young writer. . . Moreover, Faber executes a very daring manipulation of voice. * * Scotland on Sunday * *
unputdownable * * The Guardian * *
This is an unputdownable book; there is no choice but to give in to this most unbelievably pleasurable of narrative rides. From Pointillism to broad brushstroke bravura, the prose seems to be on some benign, timed-release speed: its pace in unflagging, its onward rush irresistible. . . Faber's take on the 19th - century English novel is a heady and intoxicating mixture of affection, respect and scabrous resistance. * * The Times * *
There has been no account like this: an intimate, unflinglng, raw anatomy of a woman who makes her living from sex, yet has more intelligence and wit than all her clients rolled together. . . Its style, too, is exceptional - lucid, compelling, and intimate. * * The Herald * *
