About this deal

This novel is so unique and beyond excellent. I have to admit, this can sometimes but hard and difficult material to read, however it is displayed tastefully and balanced appropriately, and is so worth the read. Controversial Little Britain sketch where David Walliams says Asian character 'smells of soy sauce' is 'racist and outdated', research says

Geri Horner wears vintage goggles and poses next to a yellow plane as she transforms into aviation icon Amelia Earhart for HalloweenElodie has an ability with words to cut deep and do it succinctly. She does not use unnecessary words to make a point, her language is blunt, brutal, and wholly truthful. She has truly enlightened her readers on how the world would have been perceived by a woman sold as a prostitute in the ancient world. These experiences Amara and her friends experience strike me as completely real and it honestly gave me chills. It reminds you how much more brutal the world was, especially for women, and she does not try and soften that. She presents it raw and uncut. You feel completely immersed in the city of Pompeii. You can feel the suffocating bustle of the women at the Vinalia, you can feel the comradeship of the women as they move through the streets, and you can feel their terror, their hatred, their relief, and their love. It is wholly encapsulating.

She wants to scream her rage into the night… Her anger is rising like the sea, drowning her. She has to get out. (284)

The excavation of Pompeii, the industrial hub of the region and Herculaneum, a small beach resort, has given unparalleled insight into Roman life.

While the eruption lasted for around 24 hours, the first pyroclastic surges began at midnight, causing the volcano's column to collapse. Mount Vesuvius, on the west coast of Italy, is the only active volcano in continental Europe and is thought to be one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. Is Elodie Harper a time traveller? It would help explainThe Temple of Fortuna'sbrilliance - the meticulous level of detail, how richly the world of Pompeii is brought to life, the vivid reenactment of the disaster which befalls it. This book is superb - I couldn't put it down.' -- Louise O'NeillInside Matthew Perry's relationship with Briana Brancato: Hisassistant and best friend pays tribute to the Friends star Salma Hayek posts tribute to Matthew Perry as she feels 'profound sadness' after his death... 25 years after they made Fools Rush In Elodie Harper (author): Hi, it is so nice to be here with you. Thank you for having me! The Wolf Den is set in ancient Pompeii, and it is the story of the women who lived and worked in the lupanar, which means "wolf den" and also means brothel. It is a building that still survives today. The book is based around that little neighbourhood, and it follows the story of the five women who work there and the story of one woman, in particular, Amara, and her quest for freedom because she wants to get out of the brothel. Each chapter starts with a contemporary quote or piece of graffiti from the walls of Pompeii, a device that sets the scene beautifully as you walk the streets with the girls as they go “fishing,” calling into The Sparrow for hot wine or parading through the painted colonnades in the forum. Although the scenes of female friendship lend some levity, fear, sweat, dirt, desperation and powerlessness pervade the story Ben Cohen's ex-wife Abby gives an insight into 'much needed holiday' with her twin daughters and new partner Dave after all clear from bowel cancer

We have probably seen modern versions of some of the quotes you have added in our daily lives. Did you feel closer to the ancient world as you were working on this story because of the graffiti?
