Ambientada en el Londres de 1874, esta aclamada novela histórica de Michel Faber narra la fascinante historia de Sugar, una joven y astuta prostituta que busca ascender en la escala social victoriana. Su destino se entrelaza con el de William Rackham, el heredero de un imperio de perfumes, en una trama que explora las profundas divisiones de clase, el deseo y las ambiciones en una ciudad sumida en la niebla y el contraste. Con una narrativa envolvente y meticulosamente detallada, Faber ofrece una visión cruda y realista de la época, alejándose de los romanticismos habituales para presentar un retrato vívido de la lucha por la supervivencia y la búsqueda de la identidad. Es una obra maestra de la ficción histórica contemporánea que combina erotismo, sátira social y una profunda humanidad.
