Recommended

I was surprised by the quality of this book. The prose is smooth and flowing and the plot, ver simple, yet keeps you interested. It's all here, class hatred, the criminal mind, depraviation at one end, then love, compassion and religioud belief. Brilliant, one of my favourite books.

Outstanding! Poker, sex, social snobbery, cynicism, revenge, redemption!! All you need for a great read and more. Lots more. I could read a book life this every day for the rest of my life
