Publisher's Synopsis
After her husband's attempts to sell her at a wife sale, Lily Fowler is left alone, frightened and heavily pregnant on the streets of Hull. Cast aside and shunned by society, Lily struggles to find a respectable job and is forced to work in a brothel. Here she finds unexpected solace in the company of the other women. Together they strive to escape from their miserable surroundings. United by bonds far stronger than normal friendship, these fallen angels bid farewell to the slums and, to their very great surprise, doors open, lost loves are recovered and the happy endings that none of them dared to dream of begin to materialise.
