Elizabeth Tate Book order (chronological)

V americkom meste New Orleans žila kedysi dievčina menom Tiana. Snívala o tom, že si jedného dňa otvorí svoju vlastnú reštauráciu a tomuto snu obetovala takmer všetko. Až keď sa stretla s hovoriacim žabiakom a prežila vďaka nemu nečakané dobrodružstvo pochopila, že v jej sne predsa len chýbalo čosi, bez čoho by nebola úplne šťastná.

Born in Newgate prison and abandoned six months later, Moll's drive to find and hold on to a secure place in society propels her through incest, adultery, bigamy, prostitution and a resourceful career as a thief ('the greatest Artist of my time') before she is apprehended and returned to Newgate. If Moll Flanders is on one level a Puritan's tale of sin and repentance, through self-made, self-reliant Moll its rich subtext conveys all the paradoxes and amoralities of the struggle for property and power in Defoe's newly individualistic society.
