Synopsis

Fame for its explicit themes and obscenity, John Cleland’s novel Fanny Hill narrates the story of Juvenile girl Fanny.  Becoming an Orphan at the Age of Fifteen, Fanny’s migration to London starts with disappointment as her Village friend Esther abandons her as soon as she arrived.  During her effort to make a living, Fanny was exploited by a long list of people including her mistress and a handful of men and women.  From the affairs of Charles, she becomes pregnant at the age of 16 and shocked to realize he is no more traceable. The novel ends up with a good note of meeting Charles again and getting married.
