Street Lavender
Chris Hunt
Maybe this all
sounds shocking. All I can say is that there were boys younger than me
down the coal mines every day of their lives, and boys with bleeding
limbs forced up chimney flues, with brine rubbed in their wounds to
harden their flesh. That's true immorality; so save your pity and
revulsion for that.
London in the final quarter of the
nineteenth century, where the wealth and elegance of the few lies
heavily on top of the squalor of the many. In its busy West End streets,
Willie Smith soon learns to use his youth and beauty as a means to
escape the grinding poverty of his East End background, as he discovers
the real world that lies hidden beneath the veneer of Victorian
respectability.
