Synopsis
Hester Roon, equipped with little more than courage, determination and a strong will, made her way through in the harsh world of 18th century England. After fleeing from the Fleece Inn in a Suffolk vilage, shebecame involved in the London underworld. From there she was to find herself a destiny far beyond her imaginings.", The Fleece Inn stood where the three roads joined--to London, to Norwich and to the sea. Its trade was prosperous, its hospitality famous and its host, fat Job, was jolly and generous--to his guests. To his servants Job was cruel and menacing and to Ellie Roon, the most menial servant at the Fleece , he was a figure of terror. Ellie was used to being shouted at and bullied, but when her illegitimate daughter was born--in a rat-ridden attic of the Fleece --she decided that Hester must have a different kind of life. And so Hester Roon, equipped with little more than courage and a strong will, began her eventful progress in the harsh world of 18th century England. After fleeing from the inn, she became involved in the London underworld. From there she was to find herself a destiny far beyond her imaginings., The Fleece Inn stood where the three roads joined--to London, to Norwich and to the sea.

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.
