Moll Flanders
by Daniel Defoe
Classic. Urban fiction. England + USA.
Story: This is the supposedly true story of a woman who was born in Newgate Prison from a criminal mother, was a wife many times, a thief many times, a felon, and more.
Characters: Though her real name is never given to us, Moll Flanders is the name given to her by others. She tells her life story in first person and it starts from her childhood all the way to old age. We meet family, guardians, husbands, lovers, friends, and victims all along her journey.
Language: Though written in the 1800's, the language is very understandable. For the most part, it reads as a crime novel written by the criminal herself. It's up to the reader to decide whether Moll Flanders made good decisions or judges her. Either way, it's a good read.
Entertaining and enjoyable.
