A Woman of Her Time

She must survive the only way she can.... Lovely, lonely Alexandra Mayne's approach to life is anything but conventional. A motherless child, left to run wild on her father's ranch in British Guiana, her disastrous naivety soon leads to trouble, with every man around wanting to get his hands on her. At just fifteen she has married, been widowed, and is left with her baby, penniless and desperate in the midst of the war-torn London of 1917. She turns to prostitution to survive, and rises to become a famous madame.
