But is it?
Can the intriguing and very human story that unfolds of a young womans journey from the poverty of a Welsh mining village, to a bizarre and luxurious life amongst the elite of London, and finally to the worst street in Whitechapel and a meeting with Jack the Ripper really be true? A womans life and happiness depend upon it being so that of Mary Kelly herself.
The Seduction of Mary Kelly is a novel about courage and determination. Painted on a broad canvas, it is sometimes brutal, often funny, but always compelling.
A story of love and of friendship, of villainy, madness and murder; tragic and comic by turns. But above all, a story of one womans inspiring journey in search of happiness.

From the Inside Flap
An now yer don t?
No, not now.
Kate looked over the top of her bottle. Then you ain t really learned nothin , ducklin an that worries me. This is the bottom, yer can t go kiddin yerself any different. The only place down from ere is the workhouse, or the ole in the ground they lay you in an if yer given the choice, my advice is to take the ole.
But there s always up.
Up? I don t know what rung of the bleedin ladder you d fallen off that night I found yer, but there ain t no climbin back on from ere. Blimey, what d yer think? That all it takes is a bit of ard work? Try it. Go an join the silly buggers in the factories like Old Gimpy with er mangled-up leg, an deaf as a post or Phossie Flo from the match factory. She can t take a drink these days without er teeth fallin into er beer.
There s domestic service.
Not without a character, there ain t. Look about yer. Alf the people ere live in doss ouses or on the street. Don t yer think they d prefer a nice warm crib in some toff s house, with as much to eat as they can lay their sticky fingers on, an the odd trip to the pawnshop with a teaspoon or two?
There has to be a way, Kate. There has to be.
Kate shook her head. There ain t. I thought you d learned that much, at least.
Learned what? That there s no hope?
That yer don t fight it. That yer take each day as it comes, enjoy it, an let
tomorrow take care of itself.
I have learned that, Kate, honestly I have. But I won t go back to that awful Crossingham s. Even the workhouse can t be any worse than that.
Kate shook her head sadly. Yer don t know the alf of it, ducklin .
Well, it doesn t matter, because I ve decided what to do. Mary smiled. I m
going back to Wales and not with my tail between my legs but with money in my pocket. I can do it, Kate. I know I can. I m going to make my own luck, too.
Yer know? Kate gave a wry grin. I alf believes yer.
