The Wolf Den is a novel by Elodie Harper which is set in Pompeii in the 1st century CE. The novel follows the point of view of Amara, a Greek woman born into a middle-class family who ended up as a prostitute in Pompeii and works at the Wolf Den with four other women. This book intertwines graffiti found at Pompeii and ancient writings of Pliny and Ovid into a rich story about the harsh reality of women's lives in the ancient world.

Christina Aguilera reveals she needed FOUR people to help her move in her gown while filming elaborate Menulog ad My aim in writing the trilogy was to immerse myself as much as possible within the ancient mindset, so my starting point was always to question what the experiences and emotional world of women at that specific time might have looked like. Once I started writing however, it was impossible not to see modern parallels. In particular by writing about the complex psychological bonds that may have developed between enslaved people and their owners or courtesans and their patrons I could see parallels with modern women's experiences of sexual violence, coercive control and abusive relationships. Also whenever you write about the past I think there is always a balance between looking at the values and customs of the time, and the aspects of human nature that don't change. The need for love, respect, control over one's own body and life, are timeless, and so these are the central preoccupations of the characters in my trilogy too.Ella Morgan narrowly avoids a wardrobe malfunction as she stumbles while leaving Beauty Awards after reuniting with her MAFS UK co-stars Amara must carefully balance appearing to be the woman Rufus desires while also preparing herself for life after he tires of her.

Elodie 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.
