Crimson Petal and the White
Crimson Petal and the White | Michel Faber
At the heart of this panoramic, multidimensional narrative is the compelling struggle of a young woman to lift her body and soul out of the gutter. Faber leads us back to 1870s London, where Sugar, a nineteen-year-old whore in the brothel of the terrifying Mrs. Castaway, yearns for escape to a better life. Her ascent through the strata of Victorian society offers us intimacy with a host of lovable, maddening, unforgettable characters. They begin with William Rackham, an egotistical perfume magnate whose ambition is fueled by his lust for Sugar, and whose patronage brings her into proximity to his extended family and milieu: his unhinged, childlike wife, Agnes, who manages to overcome her chronic hysteria to make her appearances during the Season; his mysteriously hidden-away daughter, Sophie, left to the care of minions; his pious brother, Henry, foiled in his devotional calling by a persistently less-than-chaste love for the Widow Fox, whose efforts on behalf of The Rescue Society lead Henry into ever-more disturbing confrontations with flesh; all this overseen by assorted preening socialites, drunken journalists, untrustworthy servants, vile guttersnipes, and whores of all stripes and persuasions. Twenty years in its conception, research, and writing, "The Crimson Petal and the White" is teeming with life, rich in texture and incident, with characters breathtakingly real. In a class by itself, it's a big, juicy, must-read of a novel that will delight, enthrall, provoke, and entertain young and old, male and female. "

Tagged book my favourite of the year! Although I did read the majority of it in the December I finished it in January.

Lonesome Dove I never expected to love as much as I did. I rated it four stars at the time but looking back on it I‘ve bumped it up to 5 stars.

Anne Tyler was a new author to me and I‘ll definitely read more of her this year. And for some reason I finished nothing in October 🤷‍♀️ #readingbracket2022

Happy New Year 🥂💖

Ruthiella Happy New Year! 🥳 Lonesome Dove was so good! 1y

So excited about all these books!

Tagged & Jamaica Inn I've already read, but were both 5 🌟, so looking forward to revisiting them.

The Book Eaters & Mexican Gothic were on my radar for 2023 challenges, so they'll probably be my starting books.

Have tried The Sweetness of Water before, but bailed so will try again.

The Shafak was on my radar, have just bought the Sykes & Gordon ⬇️

jenniferw88 The Song of Achilles I've already read (4 🌟), and have added the Rebanks, Macdonald & Kolbert to my kindle wishlist for deals. ⬇️ 1y
jenniferw88 I can't get hold of the Hughes at the moment, but will keep my eyes open for it. ⬇️ 1y
jenniferw88 Finally, I ❤❤❤ the fact that we both listed The Priory of the Orange Tree on our lists! 1y

Classic rags to riches and then….

Sugar is a great character unfortunately she had to share a lot of page room with William who is a total douche that I wish to forget as soon as possible.

Love the story telling technique of having narrator talk directly to reader in an inclusive way.

#Chunkster but reads much quicker than expected

Quite a huge book, and I‘m often fearful of chunksters, but this was so worth the time. Sugar is an unforgettable character. Very engrossing, and I didn‘t want it to end!

Pickpick

One of the best books I have ever read. It is a tour de force of both Victorian London and the power play between men and women. The pampered but stifling, suffocating and uneducated conditions women of status are kept in, juxtaposes with the squalor of the slums, abuse, wanton disregard and shame endured by the poorer women.

This is a book about sex, lust and the power men yield over women and the women's submission, consensual or not.

Cont...

AllDebooks Cont...

The characterisations, particularly female are extraordinarily well written and presented. Character flaws of all are laid bare as the story progresses. Faber examines the intimate relationships at the core of all our lives, parent and child, spousal, lovers and friends; detailing the ripple effect each individual relationship has on one's behaviour, decisions and opinions, but also on those around us.

Feminism runs throughout the plot and characters. It's very much an ode to equality and very clearly highlights the hypocrisy and inequality between both the sexes and the classes.

The ending is magnificent, although ambiguous and open to readers interpretation, is altogether stronger for it. The denouement is essentially about taking control for oneself. I won't say more than that as I don't want to spoil it.

This is not a book to let pass you by.

835 pages and I feel like I need a sequel 😩 I thought the ending was done well but I am left wanting to know what happened to them all! It‘s one of the most immersive novels I‘ve read; when I wasn‘t reading it I was thinking about it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It took me a month to finish it xD
I loved the writing styles, but not the characters except Henry >< That's why it took me so long to read it all, I guess.
It's not a bad book but I didn't emphatize much with the poor creatures in it >

Ast_Arslan @JazzFeathers fedele alla mia promessa 😉 non ho mai fatto una lettura di gruppo, perciò mi affido a te per 3y
JazzFeathers Ah, sei pronta? 😃 Di solito con il mio gruppo Tolkien facciamo così: dividiamo il libro in 'pezzi' (di solito capitoli, ma possono essere anche più brevi, se i capitoli sono lunghi). Prepariamo una tabella di marcia con le date e la postiamo qui, in caso qualcuno voglia unirsi e commentiamo man mano che leggiamo. 3y
JazzFeathers Si potrebbe fare così. Magari qualcuno altro vuole unirsi 😊 che dici? 3y
See All 8 Comments
Ast_Arslan @JazzFeathers ah mi sembra perfetto 😉 dovrei ricontrollare il libro per capire quanto lunghi siano i capitoli xD 3y
Ast_Arslan @JazzFeathers allora, i capitoli sono 60 quindi pensavo a 15 capitoli a settimana nell'arco di un mese... o dici che è troppo e bisogna ridurre ancora? 🤔 3y
JazzFeathers Potremmo fare un capitolo al giorno? In questo momento farei fatica ad inserire di più? O per te due mesi è troppo? 3y
Ast_Arslan @JazzFeathers è fattibile 😉 lunedì ho tempo per creare l'immagine con la tabella di marcia, così magari possiamo cominciare già martedì, se va bene 😉 non ho decisamente fretta, perciò fammi sapere come ritieni sia più comodo 😉 sei tu la veterana dei gdl 😂 3y

Reading this was like watching a movie, the way Faber leads us through Victorian London, from the slums to the elegant parlours. Fantastic depictions of the era with a cast of vivid characters which are not easily forgotten. I was invested in the story and ⬇️

Wow! What a novel! Thanks @Amiable for cheering on #ChunksterChallenge2021. I‘m not sure when I would have pulled this off my shelf otherwise.

I loved this story. It‘s about Sugar, a prostitute in London in the 1870‘s, and her meeting with a man who becomes enraptured with her. Their lives become more and more entangled, and we spend a year seeing both their lives change beyond return.

Who has read this and also others by Faber?

MsMelissa I loved this book, but haven‘t read any of Faber‘s other novels. 3y
Ruthiella I‘ve read this and The Book of Strange New Things and Under the Skin. They are each so very different from the other! But all worth reading IMO. 3y
Cathythoughts I loved this book too .. I often think over what happened.. what a story ! I‘m must try another too @Ruthiella 3y

LeahBergen I loved this book, too. 3y
TheNeverendingTBR It's a good one 3y
batsy Yup! I loved this. But I need to read his other books. 3y
Amiable Yay! Feels good to complete a chunkster, doesn‘t it ? The feeling of accomplishment is so much sweeter than finishing a short book! Congrats! 3y
Redwritinghood This is one of my favorites. I haven‘t liked other work by him I‘ve read, though. 3y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I'm pulling this off my shelf starting in June. It's the longest book on my TBR for #pop21 so I may split it up and read 1/3 each month through the summer. 3y

#WeeklyForecast @Cinfhen

I‘m really hoping I can finish up The Crimson Petal and the White this week. #ChunksterChallenge2021

I‘ve been seeing great reviews for Winter Counts, and I‘ll be reading it for my #SouthDakota book for #readingthestates2021.

Broken Wheel is light but on the sad side, and it‘s my #Iowa book for the states challenge. I‘ll probably finish it today or tomorrow.

Have a great reading week friends!

Soubhiville I‘m starting the morning at 11 hours for #20in4. I hope to make about 15 hours by bedtime 😊. @Andrew65 3y
Addison_Reads I really enjoyed Winter Counts. I'm excited too see what you think. 3y
Cinfhen Sweet!!! awesome progress!! I did the audio and really liked 3y

So, I am a huge #gilmoregirls fan. The other day I was watching an episode, and Emily is reading the tagged book. It‘s one of my favorite scenes in the series. I saw it at a used bookstore yesterday and couldn‘t resist picking it up!

I‘m finishing up my #24in48 with the same book I started in.

I got in my time! I finished 4 books, started 2 more, and read some of this one. Audiobooks got me through dog walks and other things I needed to do around the house. I had fun, and I look forward to the next one, whenever that is!

I finally got underway with my #chunksterchallenge2021 book @Amiable . I‘ve only managed about 30 pages this week, but I think I‘ll get a good bit read this weekend during the #24in48.

This was the highest page count on my TBR shelf at 900 pages. I can tell I‘m going to love it- the writing already has its hooks in me. 😊

That‘s Igor peeking out from behind 🐱.

Kloves2read I read this a while back. It‘s a good read. Can be slow at times, but not at all what I thought it would be. I am glad it wasn‘t at all what the writer describes at the beginning, when he foreshadows his own work. I liked it enough that I remember the story line, despite being that I read it over 10 years ago. 🤣 The movie was decent as well. I personally loved Slammerkin by Emma Donahue. Same premise but more developed protagonist. 3y
Wife I have had this on the shelf for a long time too! 3y

julesG I liked this. I bought it after seeing that Gilmore Girls episode where Emily gushes about the book when Lorelay and Rory come over for Friday dinner. 3y

This chunkster was a superb read, I loved the Victorian setting and loved the characters and it was a book where I felt like I was a part of the story. Highly recommend

Set in Victorian London, this book is like jumping into a time machine.

It's a very long book, it's slow paced but it's beautifully written and I got through it eventually.

I really liked these characters, some of them were likeable and others not so much; they were just written so well.

Same rating as Under the Skin but this is better, great author! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

LeahBergen Yes! 👏🏻👏🏻 3y

Are you EFFIN kidding me??? It‘s 900 pages!!! #PageCountPhobia #Hyperventilating I just took it off my shelf/ slowly working up the courage to read it 😳

Centique 😂😂😂 I know I know - it nearly broke my wrists! It honestly didn‘t feel that long while I was reading it though. 4y
Cinfhen I literally gasped @Centique !!!! Although I‘m sure it‘s wonderful/ once I get passed the page count 4y

Kalalalatja Well. You could also look at it as being three 300 page books combined into one, if that helps with the #pagecountphobia 😂😂 seriously, it is worth it! 4y

Cinfhen Thanks @Cathythoughts you read it in 2 days!!! That‘s a sign of a GREAT book!!! Especially one that‘s so lengthy 😜 4y
Cathythoughts Oh no !!! It took me a long week to read it .... and that was really good going for me 4y

erzascarletbookgasm 😂 That‘s why my copy is still collecting dust on my shelves! I like @Kalalalatja way of thinking..it does sound more doable. 💪 4y

JamieArc I agree with @JacqMac I read this over 10 years ago and it has stayed with me. I don‘t remember it being that huge. I rarely reread books, but this is one I would consider. 4y

TheNeverendingTBR @Cathythoughts I'm so glad you loved it, I've been really enjoying it although I've not picked it up for a few days because I've been super busy with other stuff and choosing another book over it a lot - reading two books at the same time is not for me. 😂 4y

Cathythoughts @TheNeverendingTBR Thanks X . I‘m no good for more than one book at a time ... I get stressed thinking about it 🤣 ... still Litsy has changed my reading in many ways , maybe one day I‘ll read a few at a time 🤔 maybe !! I hope you enjoy the rest of Crimson , look forward to your thoughts. I might try Under The Skin 😬 4y
TheNeverendingTBR @Cathythoughts Hope you love that one too, it was a Pick for me due to the writing; it was a very disturbing read. I actually prefer the movie adaptation, so you should watch that too - it's more on the surreal side. X 4y
