Description
'Funny, fast-paced and dark... with dialogue that absolutely crackles' ELODIE HARPER
'A brave, bold novel' ARAMINTA HALL
IF YOU CAN'T MAKE THE RULES
1922. Eleanor Mackridge is staring down the barrel of two equally depressing life choices – serving the upper classes or finding a husband – when she crosses paths with the notorious all-female gang, the Forty Elephants.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL BREAK THEM
These are women who society would rather forget. They are bold and vulgar, they steal diamonds and fur, drink champagne and gin. They give young women ideas above their station – and Eleanor wants in. Now she has the chance to make sure that history remembers her.
Because women don't have to marry or serve to get ahead.
They can steal.
In Poor Girls, Clare Whitfield exposes the criminal underbelly of 1920s London – but this isn't a morality tale, it's an adventure for the willingly wicked.
'Memorable, outrageous and full of heart.' ELENI KYRIACOU
'Wonderfully roguish characters, and great period detail. Really enjoyable.' IAN MOORE
'A richly vivid and picaresque masterwork... humorous, horrifying and humane.' TOM MEAD
'A compulsive read... A real page turner.' CAITLIN DAVIES
