Daniel Defoe 
Moll Flanders 
(The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous)

Moll Flanders, child of a convict in Newgate Prison, was born in Newgate, and had a life of continued variety for threescore years. She was twelve years a whore, five times a wife (whereof even once to her own Brother), she was twelve years a thief, at last grew rich, lived honest and died a penitent. Written from her own memorandums.
An exciting social novel of that time.
