Summary: "Madame Flirt" by Charles Edward Pearce is a romance novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to weave a tale steeped in the culture and vibrancy of London's historical setting, specifically around the infamous character of Lavinia Fenton, a street singer with dreams of a better life. The narrative hints at Lavinia's trials as she navigates her ambitions, her interactions with notable figures of the time, and the complexities of love and rivalry, particularly concerning her mother's control over her life. The opening of the novel introduces us to a lively scene at the Maiden Head Inn in St. Giles, where a group of men, including the poet John Gay and Lord Bolingbroke, are captivated by the singing of a young woman named Lavinia. Their admiration for her talent leads to discussions about her potential, and Gay's intention to help her escape her difficult circumstances becomes evident. As Lavinia finds herself in a tense confrontation with a rival, Sally Salisbury, the characters around her reveal the chaotic and often dangerous world she inhabits amidst the backdrop of 18th-century London. This setting promises an exploration of Lavinia's journey from humble beginnings to her aspirations for fame and love, against the odds presented by both her family and the society around her.
