The Crimson Petal and the White

The ending of the book did not satisfy me. There were a lot of loose ends that I wished were tied up. Some questions were answered at the end. But still way too many questions left unanswered.

A faux-Victorian novel full of life - of the dirty, the canny, the manic, the erotic, the repulsive and mostly the human kind. Full of fascinating dynamic characters, centered around Sugar, a young prostitute aiming to escape her surroundings. All the way up to the end you don't know if you're reading a heroic tale of a tragedy.
