Young Nancy Astley sold oysters in a small port town on the coast of Kent until one day a variety company arrived where a charming young man sang. Nancy was seduced by his voice and his grace, and discovered that she was actually a young woman, like her. She followed her to London as her assistant, as her lover and as her acting partner. But this was only the first step of a long and very peculiar sentimental education. Because in Victorian England, transgression, the most secret "vices", arose at every step Nancy took.
