Description
"Gives you a tantalising peek into a world we all hope never to experience." Glamour "Quite simply in a class of its own ... the work of a stunningly talented writer." Joanna Briscoe, Guardian "A compelling story of love and squalor that retains humanity and sympathy." Stephanie Merritt, Observer "Searing intellectual and emotional honesty sets In My Skin apart from most other my-substance-abuse-in-hell memoirs." Independent on Sunday I made money I'd never imagined and I wore velvet dresses and shone in lamplight. I walked tall in crowds, knowing myself to be desired. I told people I was a prostitute, and smiled as I said it, and dared them to turn their gaze . . . The smile that I give when I talk about it now is, I can feel, nostalgic, provocative. A brightness comes into my eyes. And, I'm told, a hard look too. In My Skin describes an extraordinary journey through an often hidden world of heroin and prostitution. Kate's story is one of survival and resourcefulness, and an unflinching look at the consequences of addiction.
