A review by suvata
Slammerkin by Emma Donoghue

4.0

I just finished this book and have to say that I really enjoyed it. It was just trashy enough that I hesitate to recommend it to the ladies in my book club. It was such a sad story and rather haunting. I have only read two books by Emma Donoghue but it seems to me that she has some real sexual issues. Both Room and Slammerkin showed women in situations where they were having sex in order to survive rather than for pleasure.
