Slammerkin  -  Emma Donoghue

KORTE INHOUD

'Inspired by fragments of a story from the newspapers of the day, 'Slammerkin' tells the story of Mary Saunders, an 18th-century girl who falls, for love of a ribbon, into prostitution and ultimate disaster...
As we follow her from whorehouse to the Magdalen Hospital for reformed prostitutes to a quiet country town, Mary (ambitious, refusing to conform, bitterly resenting anyone with the finery that symbolises a better life) is a memorable and unexpectedly touching character'
