SLAMMERKIN
Inspired by a murder that took place in the Welsh Borders in 1763, SLAMMERKIN (meaning a loose dress, and a loose woman) is Donoghue's first historical novel, a gripping study of a prostitute obsessed with clothes.

It was a Main Selection of the Book of the Month Club and the Quality Paperback Book Club, a finalist in the 2001 Irish Times Irish Literature Prize for Fiction, a Barnes and Noble Discover Selection, a Book Sense 76 Selection, and one of the Notable Books of 2001 chosen by Publishers Weekly and the New York Times.

SLAMMERKIN has also been published in Dutch and Greek and is forthcoming in Portuguese.
