Synopsis of Slammerkin
Slammerkin es una novela histórica de Emma Donoghue ambientada en el Londres del siglo XVIII. La historia sigue a Mary Saunders, una joven de clase trabajadora que anhela una vida mejor. Su deseo de ropa fina la lleva a la prostitución y, finalmente, a una situación peligrosa que la obliga a huir a Monmouth. Allí, se convierte en costurera, pero su anhelo por una vida más espléndida la arrastra de vuelta a su antigua vida, lo que la lleva al desastre. La novela explora temas de clase, género y la búsqueda de la libertad en una sociedad opresiva.
