Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe

3.0

---

I love classics! The story was about a girl who is born in Newgate prison to a criminal, and how difficult her life is! Her many adventures include many husbands, living in Virginia, and then eventually becoming a thief! Written by Daniel Defoe, who is considered to be the first novelist in history, and credited with creating the novel! It was written in the eighteenth century, making it difficult to follow at some parts, and there are no chapters! Just 300 pages of writing! I would highly recommend if you like stories that discuss the hardships of women in the past! Some argue that the main character being a woman makes Defoe one of the first feminists
