" As delightful a bit of titillating literature as was ever written in the 18th century. Fanny's story is remarkable not so much for its sexual frankness, which was similar to that in French erotic novels that were popular in England at the time, but rather for its refusal to judge its heroine for her sexuality. For all that this is every bit a soft-edged fantasy about the life of a prostitute as "Pretty Woman," there are moments that do remind the reader about the dearth of choices available to women of no family or fortune. The book is funny, smutty, the language is flowery and ornate (occasionally amusingly so), and the story is compelling. A very fun, if not brilliant, read. "
