The Mars Room Av Rachel Kushner

Romy Hall is starting two consecutive life sentences at Stanville Women's Correctional Facility. Her crime? The killing of her stalker. Inside awaits a world where women must hustle and fight for the bare essentials. Outside: the San Francisco of her youth. The Mars Room strip club where she was once a dancer. Her seven-year-old son, Jackson. As Romy forms friendships over liquor brewed in socks and stories shared through sewage pipes her future seems to unfurl in one long, unwavering line - until news from beyond the prison bars forces Romy to try and outrun her destiny. 'Kushner is one of our most outstanding modern writers' STYLIST. 'More knowing about prison life [than Orange Is The New Black]... so powerful' NEW YORK TIMES. 'Breathtaking' VOGUE.
