Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book follows the story of Phosie Moore, a young woman left alone and penniless in the wake of her father's untimely death. Sent to work as a servant and general dogsbody in the crumbling boarding house where her family had taken a room, Phosie plots with a fellow servant, Gus, to escape. Together, the unlikely pair dream of a new life, full of excitement and adventure. Set in the bustling, unforgiving streets of late 19th century London, the book examines themes of poverty, ambition, and the indomitable spirit of youth. The author deftly evokes the harsh realities of Phosie's world, yet she treats her characters with sympathy and humor, reminding the reader that even in the most difficult circumstances, hope and resilience can endure. Ultimately, this is a story of two people struggling to carve out a place for themselves against the odds, and the transformative effect that friendship and imagination can have on even the most challenging of lives. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
