The story of a female outlaw like no other in history-by the acclaimed #1 New York Times bestselling author.

Legend says that May was tall with red-gold hair and big blue eyes, compellingly attractive to men. At nineteen, she stole her family's savings and ran away from home in rural Ireland to America where she worked as a confidence trickster, a thief, a showgirl, and a prostitute, notorious as much for her violence as for her diamond rings. The tabloids would dub her "The Queen of the Underworld." Reaching across the decades for points of connection, Nuala O'Faolain brings sympathetic scrutiny to the understanding of an outlaw experience like no other.
作者简介 Nuala O'Faolain is a columnist for the Irish Times, and has worked as a producer for the BBC.
