Dark and compelling, The Pleasures of Men is a gothic thriller which marks Kate
Williams as a stunning new voice in historical fiction.
Spitalfields, 1840.
A murderer nicknamed The Man of Crows.
A heroine with a mysterious past and a vivid imagination.
Catherine Sorgeiul lives with her Uncle in a rambling house in London's East
End. When a murderer strikes, ripping open the chests of young girls and
stuffing hair into their mouths to resemble a crow's beak, Catherine is
fascinated, and devours news of his exploits.
As the murders cause panic throughout the city, she comes to believe she can
channel the voices of his victims and that they will lead her to The Man
himself. But she's already far closer than she realises - and lurking behind the
lies she's been told about her past are secrets more deadly and devastating than
anything her imagination can conjure.
