- Summary:
- "Nancy has spent her whole life on the vibrant and gritty streetsof Victorian London, first as one of Fagin's child pickpockets and now on the arm of violent and mercurial Bill Sikes. Nancy does what she must to get by attuned to the harsh realities of life, but also knows how to find moments of beauty amid the grime, even if it is only the scent and taste of an orange - its miraculous colour and form. When she embarks on a relationship with enigmatic gentleman Mr Rufus, it awakens emotions she's never felt before, and makes a better life feel possible for the first time en she takes cherubic orphan Oliver Twist under her wing, something even more elusive and appealing seems to be within reach: redemption."-- Provided by publisher.
