This vivid saga of a beautiful, clever woman, her high misdemeanors and delinquencies, her varied careers as a prostitute, a charming and faithful wife, a thief and a convict, remains today the liveliest, most candid record of an eighteenth-century woman's progress through the hypocritical labyrinth of her society ever recorded.

Often considered the first, and one of the greatest, of all English novels, Tom Jones is an unforgettable reading experience.
