The book was written in 1724, yet the twisted storyline, love story, and a good portion of suspense create everything to hook a contemporary reader. The female protagonist is a woman who uses lies, disguises, and treachery to get what she wants – a man she's in love with. As she first meets him, she pretends to be a prostitute. After this intercourse, she wants to meet him again, but not to reveal her real identity. So she dresses up as four different women and organizes continuous dates with her beloved by making him cheat on her with her.
