Eleanor Mackridge is staring down the barrel of two equally depressing life choices – serving the upper classes or finding a husband – when she crosses paths with the notorious all-female gang, the Forty Elephants.     YOU MIGHT AS WELL BREAK THEM  These are women who society would rather forget. They are bold and vulgar, they steal diamonds and fur, drink champagne and gin. They give young women ideas above their station – and Eleanor wants in. Now she has the chance to make sure that history remembers her.   Because women don't have to marry or serve to get ahead.    They can steal.    In Poor Girls, Clare Whitfield exposes the criminal underbelly of 1920s London – but this isn't a morality tale, it's an adventure for the willingly wicked.   'Memorable, outrageous and full of heart. Loved it – every time I put it down I couldn’t wait to pick it up again.’ ELENI KYRIACOU'Wonderfully roguish characters, and great period detail. Really enjoyable.' IAN MOORE'A richly vivid and picaresque masterwork, Poor Girls is by turns humorous, horrifying and humane.' TOM MEAD'A compulsive read... A real page turner.' CAITLIN DAVIESJoin the growing fans of the Forty Elephants…‘Clare Whitfield's best book to date.’ Reader Review‘What a ride, this book is so much fun.’ Reader Review‘Will make you laugh but also shed a tear.’ Reader Review‘I highly recommend it to anyone drawn to tales of resilience, ambition, and rebellion.’ Reader Review‘Such a brilliant book, everyone should read it!’ Reader Review‘Glamorous and uncompromising.’ Reader review\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product__accordion accordion quick-add-hidden\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cdetails id=\"Details-collapsible_tab_dDVEeR-template--25151688147283__main\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003csummary role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_dDVEeR-template--25151688147283__main\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003cdiv class=\"summary__title\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003ch2 class=\"h4 accordion__title inline-richtext\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tProduct Information\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csvg class=\"icon icon-caret\" viewbox=\"0 0 10 6\"\u003e\u003cpath fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M9.354.646a.5.5 0 0 0-.708 0L5 4.293 1.354.646a.5.5 0 0 0-.708.708l4 4a.5.5 0 0 0 .708 0l4-4a.5.5 0 0 0 0-.708\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/summary\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content rte\" id=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_dDVEeR-template--25151688147283__main\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clare Whitfield\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDate of Publication:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePagination:\u003c\/b\u003e 416 pages\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e N\/A\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eImprint:\u003c\/b\u003e Head of Zeus -- an Aries Book\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublished By:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBook Classification:\u003c\/b\u003e Historical mysteries\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 196 x 129 x 28\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eISBN13\/EAN\/SKU:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781837930883\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t\u003c\/details\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Clare Whitfield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55698871222658,"sku":"9781837264285","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/2180\/9347\/files\/9781837264285_9a6e1202-353b-41f5-a625-64cd49120ec4.jpg?v=1760627187","url":"https:\/\/mountfloridabooks.live\/products\/9781837264285","provider":"Mount Florida Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
