Slammerkin surprised me--it kept me turning pages, and wondering a lot about a single woman's chance of survival in 1740's England. I also appreciated the descriptions of clothing so long ago--a slammerkin could be used as a dress to entice men, or worn by ladies on the cutting edge of fashion--not unlike today's camisoles, which used to be hidden under blouses, but have emerged into today's outerwear.
