Moll Flanders

Born in Newgate Prison to a condemned mother, Moll Flanders seems fated for a life of hardship. But she is clever, resourceful, and determined to rise above her circumstances—by any means necessary. From a naïve girl seduced by a wealthy gentleman to a serial wife, a notorious thief, and ultimately a transported convict, Moll recounts her astonishing adventures with wit, candor, and a survivor's unblinking honesty. This modern retelling preserves Defoe's original plot, characters, and social commentary while translating the prose into vivid, contemporary English. Whether she is outwitting highwaymen, fleeing her own brother, or facing the gallows, Moll’s voice remains as compelling as ever. A story of sin, repentance, and relentless ambition. Part of Timeless Classics.
