En savoir plus sur le livre

"The Breakout" is a autobiographical novel about a girl named Sophie who becomes a prostitute, endures a five-year hell, and ultimately manages to break free. Her journey is depicted with unvarnished honesty, psychological clarity, and grim humor. Throughout the narrative, the mechanisms of prostitution are revealed with devastating clarity: the environment that serves as the breeding ground, the process that channels the girl into the "profession," the emotional reasons that lead her to love the one who degrades her, the merciless mafia-like system that governs the operation, and all levels of prostitution from luxury to street work. Jeanne Cordelier's novel is an important contribution to the increasingly relevant debate about the relationship between prostitution and society's view of women.
