In 18th-century England, Mary's shrewd instincts will get her only so far, and she despairs of the plans made for her to carve out a trade as a seamstress or a maid. Unwilling to bend to such a destiny, Mary strikes out on a painful, fateful journey all her own. Inspired by the obscure historical figure Mary Saunders, Slammerkin is a provocative, graphic tale and a rich feast of an historical novel. Author Emma Donoghue probes the gap between a young girl's quest for freedom and a better life and the shackles that society imposes on her. \"Never give up your liberty.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Donoghue, Emma","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover (Adult Fiction)","offer_id":47652844110048,"sku":null,"price":19.8,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/slammerkin0000dono_p9d7_1c26def4-ee93-4517-917c-af08cb161cb1.jpg?v=1755105958","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/slammerkinbooks","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
