The Wolf Den
by Elodie Harper
This is a gripping historical novel set in AD 74 Pompeii, and it follows Amara, a former doctor’s daughter sold into a brothel, as she fights for survival, sisterhood, and freedom amid oppression.
"You wouldn't understand. You're just a woman."
It was a great read, that blended the stark reality of brothels and there darkness, with the beauty that comes from friendships and hope of something more.
The book has a really good pace to it, I felt the storyline had great depth. There is no doubt it was a sad story with flickers of light, but this was, and is still reality for many women today. The main character Amara, was brilliant, showing strength, fight and determination in refusing to accept the cards she has been dealt in life.
“Every fear can be overcome if she only tries hard enough”
Another great gritty historical fiction read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
