Oh, that Moll...scrapes, predicaments, scandals, triumph...all these define her life. From her beginnings as an orphan whose mother birthed her in prison, to her eventual success as an adult, with five marriages in between, Moll ends up a better person than she started out as, that's for sure.

I had trouble getting into the book, but once I got used to the language, after about three chapters, it turned out to be quite the exciting story. You root for Moll the entire time, even when she's doing bad things. I love characters like that.

A good read full of twists and turns and a great female character.
