Slammerkin by Emma Donoghue

4.0

This isn't a particularly fast-paced or action packed book, but I love this time period and I've read far too many of Goodreads "most popular books on prostitution" list. Sex work is real work and i'm forever enchanted with the stories of women.

I will say that I picked up on some weird, morality issues/value based judgements in this second reading that were a bit offputting. Still this is one of my favorite books of all time and I'm certain that i'll visit it again.
