Moll Flanders
Remarkable novel.
If indeed Defoe did write it, what possessed him to do so?
I suppose it counts as a picaresque novel and a novel of manners, but it's also a feminist tract before its time.
I think.
The narrative is continuous except for a division into two parts, which makes it inconvenient to put the book down to go do something else once you have started reading.
Interesting reading.
