The Journal of Dora Damage

London, 1859- By the time Dora Damage discovers that her husband Peter's hands have arthritis, it is too late - their book-binding business is in huge debt and the family is on the brink of entering the poorhouse. But Dora proves that she is more than just a housewife and mother. She resolves to rescue her family at any price - and she finds herself illegally binding expensive volumes of pornography and irrevocably entangled in a web of sex, money and deceit.
