It might seem surprising to some that the “loafer” (to use Edward Carson’s expression) of the summer of 1894 should have ended his days as a stable and capable NCO with an apparently unblemished record in the Navy. [10] They should recall that this loafer helped to sail a boat through a severe gale for five hours on the night of 9 September 1894, yet still wished to have a career at sea. No doubt the social storm that overtook him in 1895 was less easily weathered, but a resilient boy might well have found a change of identity as effective in settling the mind as the free glass of brandy the landlord of the Marine Hotel in Worthing provided on the night of the gale. In any event it is scarcely reasonable to judge a man by how he acted at sixteen. It was Alphonse’s misfortune to gambol unsuspectingly into the spotlight of history at just the wrong time in his life, and it is fitting that it should be the records of the Senior Service that help to redress the balance. After all, we know that even the young Conway did have ambitions as Wilde reported in the course of his cross examination. “He wished to be at Portsmouth, because he wanted to be a sailor.” [11] We have proudly built up our business on referrals from clients and have an impeccable reputation built on trust, accountability and exceptional service levels. We have a fresh approach to selling houses, always thinking outside the box and pushing boundaries, creating a fresh approach to estate agency which sets us aside from typical agents. This novel consists of 29 chapters. The chapters are medium in length so possible to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case! Please note that since this is fictional, this is in no way promoting the escort lifestyle, although it is mostly shown in a positive light from Tilly's perspective. It also touches upon the cons of the lifestyle choice, such as rejection by friends and/or family.

A seemingly light hearted story that does have a deeper message running through it. I was surprised this was a debut to be honest. The writing is so well done and the characters well fleshed out. I loved spending time with Tilly. Her friendship with Fran was lovely to see. In fact, all the characters where memorable for some reason or another. I did feel proud of just how brave Tilly was in some situations and wondered if I could have been as brave!If there’s anything I’ve learned in my 15 years of working with vulnerable families, it’s that it’s never too late to change. From the moment the author reached out to me, I was intrigued by the premise of this book. The idea of a woman who is struggling to make ends meet, finds herself with an opportunity, and seizes the opportunity to become an escort – and discovers an entirely new side to herself in the process… I loved it. I especially loved watching Tilly become more confident. While a lot of the book focuses on Tilly's involvement in her new life, I do love her for one thing: that she knows what she wants, even though she knows not everyone will agree with it. She took control of her life the way she wanted to, without anyone infringing on her choices.
