Elizabeth Tate Livres

Moll Flanders has claims to being the first English novel. It is the tale of 'the Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders, Who was Born in Newgate, and during a Life of continu'd Variety for Threescore Years, besides her Childhood, was Twelve Year a Whore, five times a Wife (whereof once to her own Brother), Twelve Year a Thief, Eight Year a Transported Felon in Virginia, at last grew Rich, liv'd Honest, and died a Penitent.' Racy, ironic, rich in realistic sociological detail, it is also a romance, with Moll in her quest for a familial paradise its charmed heroine.

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.
