The Houses of Sin is a novel written by Vincent O'Sullivan and published in 1897. The story is set in London during the late Victorian era and follows the lives of several characters who are all connected to the city's underworld. The main character is a young woman named Helen who is forced into a life of prostitution due to her poverty. She becomes involved with a wealthy man named Lord Henry who promises to save her from her life of sin, but ultimately betrays her. The novel also explores the lives of other characters such as a thief, a gambler, and a drug addict. The Houses of Sin is a dark and gritty portrayal of the seedy underbelly of Victorian London and the desperate lives of those who are forced to live there. It is a powerful commentary on the social and economic inequalities of the time and the devastating effects they had on the lives of the poor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
