Summary: "Daisy Holt was always convinced that something wonderful was just about to happen, and when she was dismissed from her post as a nursemaid she set off cheerfully into the jungle of mid-Victorian London, protected by nothing but her innocence. When Kitty Hammond, proprietress of the "select establishment" off Leicester Square discovered her, she was quick to realise that Daisy had a rare talent and she was, unwittingly, saved from prostitution to become a successful entertainer. And there it was that she met the impoverished artist John Skelton. To him Daisy represented the perfect model - the one he had always hoped for to inspire his work. But Daisy fell completely and hopelessly in love with him - a love which was to launch her on a stormy career in which luxury, admiration and suffering were all to play a part."--Publisher description.
