Dua Lipa sets pulses racing in daring lace bodysuit and faux fur coat as she enjoys evening out in New York City A Pompeii brothel in first century AD might not be the obvious setting for a novel about female empowerment, but Harper’s vibrant and thrilling story is steeped in historical detail while remaining contemporary in its concerns. The book follows the fortunes of Amara, a reluctant “she-wolf” – a woman sold into sex work – who aims to escape from this degrading world while taking comfort from the solidarity of her colleagues. Harper tells her gripping tale with conviction and wit. The skill of the fighters, the grace of the tigers, all of it is punctuated by acts of savagery. (217) The author also shares a line from Pompeiian graffiti that “boasts about the endemic abuse enslaved women endured” that reads “Grab your slave girl whenever you want; it’s your right to use her”. The author also mentions that most of the accounts of slavery from that era were written by slave owners and that one could try to comprend the slaves' perspectives in their own voices only from their epitaphs. In The Wolf Den Trilogy, Elodie Harper attempts to reimagine the lives of the enslaved women of that era and gives them a voice. Throughout the narrative , as we follow Amara in her new life, it is difficult to not question the meaning of "freedom" in the context of Amara's life and whether Amara is truly"free". Is she truly more in control of her life now ? To what extent is her life and her fate influenced by those more powerful than her?

She brings life to Pompeii of what it could’ve been like, and I love how she’s uses facts and actual people and weaves them into the story.
