«Sugar: Kvinnan som steg ut ur mörkret» is the historical novel by Michel Faber, published by Månpocket in paperback (786 pages, in Swedish).
The action takes place in Victorian London in 1874, where Sugar, a nineteen-year-old prostitute, stands out for her intelligence and her ambition to rise from the slums to the salons of high society. Her encounter with William, heir to the Rackham perfume business, brings her closer to that goal and shows her that female oppression also affects upper-class women.
