	Innocent virgin Molly Huckerby arrives in London from York. Immediately she is lured into The Bell by the notorious bawd Mother Wickham. Her destiny seems changed forever but there is a breathtaking twist in the tale..." This is the first in a trilogy and a fictional realization of Hogarth’s series of etchings called “A Harlot’s Progress”. Each story follows one of three 18th Century harlots who have all been seduced into a life of prostitution at The Bell, an infamous Wood Lane brothel in the City of London. Underlying each story is the tale of a young woman’s struggle against overwhelming misfortune. Mottley (1935-2006) paints London with a colourful stroke, rich with historical accuracy that is the result of years of meticulous research. Following his death, his daughter found hundreds of well referenced books about 18th century London among his belongings. "Full of excellent period detail. It zips along with lots of incident."
