It was in that prison that Moll was born. Deemed an orphan, Moll was later sent to apprentice as a servant with a respectable family. Moll has designs on a life better than serving others. But as she discovers, independence and fortune are not easy to come by. A string of dreadful misfortunes--including five luckless marriages--force Moll into the streets, where her only means of support is a life of crime. But Moll refuses to give up: she will succeed! Moll Flanders is a triumphant portrait of a strong-willed woman determined to make her own way in eighteenth-century England.
