The Flower of the Flock, Volume 1 (of 3)
London, 1830s: a city of glittering wealth and grinding poverty, where a young goldsmith apprentice named Harry Vivian falls desperately in love with Flora Wilton, the beautiful daughter of a ruined man. Flora is the flower of the flock, a portrait of virtue and purity surrounded by a world of corruption, debt, and moral decay. Their romance unfolds against the gritty backdrop of London's streets, where class barriers threaten to destroy what love might build. Pierce Egan, the legendary chronicler of urban life, weaves a tale that contrasts innocent devotion with the calculating vice of society, asking what becomes of goodness in a world designed to commodify everything, even the people we claim to love.
