Changes

|summary= Lawless and the Flowers of Sin is something of a rarity in the world of historical fiction, it manages to titillate with tales of bawdy backroom brothels whilst at the same time inspiring in the reader a sense of injustice and outrage at the hypocrisy of the so called war against the Great Social Evil. What becomes apparent is that the trials and tribulations faced by the characters within this book have not abated with time, or with advancements into the modern age. If the point Sutton was trying to make is that the root of the Great Social Evil was, and remains, the unjust use of the poor by the rich to satisfy their own desires then this was made, clearly and with violent grace. Read this book and understand the meaning of vice and virtue in Victorian London but also hear the echo into the present day.
