Publisher's Synopsis
Memoirs of Fanny Hill By John Cleland Charming young Lancashire lady Fanny Hill joins the London -working girls-, dressed in fancy frock and indulging gentlemen clients. But it is her roommate and bed-mate Phoebe who initiates Fanny's sexual education. Charles Standing, the dashing son of a merchant, is struck with Fanny at first sight, declaring his love but ultimately leaving for colonial India. A desperate Fanny becomes a kept woman, living in a gilded cage with the brother of a rich earl. But she finds herself homeless after seducing her footman William. It is not long before Fanny is enjoying life in an upper-class whorehouse but she is forced to escape. An act of kindness on the street leads to her to her new role as maid to an ill companion, and she eventually becomes his sole heir. It is this much wealthier, and much more worldly Fanny Hill that her first love Charles finds upon his return.
