OMG this ending. The Crimson Petal and the White was really slow at the beginning and i though it was not for me. The second half is just marvelous. Feminine condition, prostitution, dark times in rich houses, are some subjects absolutely well written.
Graphic: Chronic illness, Death of parent, Dementia, and Misogyny
Moderate: Body horror
Minor: Child abuse and Trafficking
