Moderate: Sexual assault, Alcoholism, Miscarriage, Rape, and Adult/minor relationship
Slammerkin is a slowly paced read about sex work and the love of fine clothing in 1700s England. Doll Huggins is my personal favorite character, as she adds a sense of humor and lightness to an otherwise sad tale of the teenage Mary Saunders. If you read between the lines, there are some lesbian undertones but they only add more angst than anything else.
