"Although I didn't long believe the story told to me by Mother that they had found me as a baby in an oyster-shell, and a greedy customer had almost eaten me for lunch for eighteen years I never doubted my own oysterish sympathies, never looked far beyond my father's kitchen for occupation, or for love." At night Nancy Astley often ventures to the nearby music hall, not that she has illusions of being more than an audience member. But the moment she spies a new male impersonator still something of a curiosity in England circa 1888-her years of innocence come to an end and a life of transformations begins.
