I loved this book. Who'd have thought that the subject of child prostitution in Ireland in the 1700's would hold my interest? The story is told with historical facts that taught me something and even with humor in spite of some desperate situations. Loved the relationship between the protagonist and her mentor. I loved "Room" also and am an Emma Donoghue fan!
