A review by mellabella
Slammerkin by Emma Donoghue

4.0

I am not a great big fan of historical fiction. But,I couldn't put Slammerkin down.I just wished it had ended with a little info on what happened to Mary Saunders mother, brother, and even Abi.I guess I thought it ended abruptly with her death.This may even be a reread.It could have been depressing. London, at that time... The poverty. The very young girl forced into prostitution. But it wasn't. Mary Saunders will and spirit made it very enjoyable.I will definitely check out the authors other books.
