A collection of powerful, memorable short stories; all based in fact, and Donoghue cites her sources. Her characters have all gone astray in some fashion, crossing the borders of race, law, sex, or sanity. If you have read Donoghue's 'Slammerkin', you know her talent for historical fiction is stunning. Each of these remarkable stories gave me pause for thought because they COULD have happened just this way.
