I'm A Celeb viewers are moved by Grace's Dent's campmates' tearful reaction to her goodbye letter: 'You can tell they really loved her' Both yes and no. The characters in the books are not Feminist. I was very careful to avoid Amara or any of the others striving for agency in an anachronistic way that envisioned women as oppressed within a patriarchal system because none of the women would have had access to this belief! So just as Amara strives to be freed without questioning the morality of slavery as an institution (and she goes on to own other people herself, once free) so too her power struggles with Felix or Rufus are not seen as a male/female power struggle. Women and enslaved people absolutely DID strive for power and agency in the Roman world, but it was on an individual basis, rather than one that questioned the entire system. On the other hand, I am a Feminist, and as the author of the trilogy my own sense of the world is obviously a part of how and why I chose to tell this particular story. Which, of course, is easier said than done, especially for a brothel whore. Amara’s history is one of privilege, including education. She’s smart and conniving and not ready to give up on the idea of reclaiming some sense of freedom that she once had. Even if she’ll never be the same person she once was.

A compelling story of survival, friendship and courage. Amara and her fellow she-wolves are vividly drawn in a fascinating depiction of women at the time. Utterly spellbinding' Woman & Home All of us are only as 'good' or as 'bad' as the choices we face - and sometimes life presents us with no 'good' choices. Through the trilogy Amara gains increasing agency (and therefore greater responsibility) for her actions, but in The Wolf Den in particular, she has very few options. Her decision to survive, and to do whatever she can to get out of the situation she finds herself in, means she is obliged to be pretty ruthless. Her situation defines the choices she makes as much as her character. When she is a freedwoman in The House with the Golden Door, Amara's choices become less about pure survival and more about what she considers will make her life worthwhile. In her case this means pursuing love, both platonic and romantic, in spite of the risks these relationships pose. For Amara to act from a place of need rather than power is not very badass, but I wanted to reflect the fact that trauma generally makes people more vulnerable rather than less. Her impulse to survive is still very strong however, and I think this comes through in The Temple of Fortuna.Set in Pompeii's lupanar, The Wolf Den reimagines the lives of women who have long been overlooked. Rating: Bob Mortimer wins 2023 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction with The Satsuma Complex The goddess Venus held a special place in Pompeii as the guardian deity of the city and is sometimes referred to as Pompeian Venus. In The Wolf Den, Venus is an important deity, since she is the Roman goddess of love, beauty, sex, fertility, and prostitution. In April, the festival known as the Vinalia was celebrated which was held in honour of Jupiter and Venus. Common girls and prostitutes would gather to the temple of Venus to offer her myrtle and mint and ask for things such as beauty, popular favour, to be charming or witty.

L' amore sovrasta ogni cosa. È sfacciato, indulgente, possessivo e molto altro ancora. Gonfia le giornate e annebbia i timori. L’amore non si qualifica. Quando lo incontri, anche solo sfiorandolo, lo riconosci all’istante. Diventi pazzo d’amore. Sei felice, inebriato.

When I read Classics For Plebs review of this book, she made the observation that this book forces you to come to terms with the fact that women were sold into slavery daily. These women were not necessarily always prostitutes, and it shifts the focus of the reader to the fact that these women have absolutely no control over their bodies and their lives, and it was something happening to women all over the ancient world. Our main characters, our point of view for this entire story, the basis of this entire novel is the fact that these women do not have ownership over their own bodies or their lives. They are literally owned by men, and they are treated by the man that owns them, and 99% of men in this story, as if they are nothing more than a mindless object to be used, abused, and then discarded.
