Excerpt from As in a Looking Glass
He Spoke fairly good English, and after various preliminary platitudes he asked me if I bathed at Ostend, to which I replied in the negative, with the inward reflection that if only he saw me in the sea minus my hair and complexion, to say nothing of the shade about my eyes being entirely gone, he would scarcely have asked such a Silly question. I bathe in Paradise, he said.
Failing to catch the meaning of this remark, I inquired what he meant.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a semi-autobiographical account of the misadventures of a high-class courtesan in late 19th century England. The author gives a frank and honest depiction of the scandalous life she leads, the men she has affairs with, and the friendships she forms with fellow women of ill repute. Whilst being a salacious and scandalous tale, however, the author explores a range of profound themes including social hypocrisy, female empowerment, and the nature of love amidst the hardship and prejudices of the time.
