Emma Donoghue’s break-out bestseller, Slammerkin (2000), is about a teenage street prostitute in eighteenth-century London, and her forthcoming Frog Music (Little Brown, Spring 2014) is a murder story told from the point of view of a high-priced ‘soiled dove’ in 1870s San Francisco. She is also the author of Room and Astray. Please sample her delights at www.emmadonoghue.com.
