Slammerkin by Emma Donoghue
Not a book that I would ordinarily read. It was a Quality Paperback Book Club main selection about five years ago. You all know what happened ... I forgot to send one of the little cards back, and it's less hassle to send them money once you open the package than it is to send the book back.
Follows two years of a young girl's life in London in 1760something.
It's grittier than it sounds.
