Devastatingly beautiful and sad. You can tell a lot of care went into the research for this book, you get a view into what life was like for slaves in Pompeii (often terrible). I couldn’t put it down and read most of it over a couple days.

I took away a tiny bit because the ending felt a little tied up with a bow, but knowing this is book one of a trilogy makes me hopeful for more development in the future.

This is historical fiction at it’s most literary.

This book made so unnecessarily emotional
I loved it, it made me feel the pain, relief and insecurity of the characters 
I somehow could get a feel of what being a prostitute at that time was
It was a tale of womanhood and love both platonic and romantic

This was a beautiful story about friendship and loyalty. It was funny in places and heartbreaking in others. The language made it seem so real and the characters were so rich and complex. 

A lovely story and I can't wait to read the second book.
