About this audiobook
Osmond Waymark seeks to embrace the raw reality of the streets, finding beauty and truth among social outcasts and the "unclassed." His relationship with a woman forced into prostitution challenges every convention of Victorian morality. The novel is a bold declaration of artistic freedom and a compassionate plea for those marginalized by society.
