Notă biografică
Elodie Harper is a journalist and prize-winning writer. Her story 'Wild Swimming' won the 2016 Bazaar of Bad Dreams short story competition, which was judged by Stephen King. She is currently a reporter and presenter at ITV News, and before that worked as a producer for Channel 4 News. Her job as a journalist has seen her join one of the most secretive wings of the Church of Scientology and cover the far right hip hop scene in Berlin, as well as crime reporting in Norfolk where her first two novels were set - The Binding Song and The Death Knock. Elodie studied Latin poetry both in the original and in translation as part of her English Literature degree at Oxford, instilling a lifelong interest in the ancient world. The Wolf Den is the first in a trilogy of novels about the lives of women in ancient Pompeii. Elodie can be found online at elodieharper.com
Recenzii
A compelling story of survival, friendship and courage ... Utterly immersive
An utterly gripping story. It humanises the men and women who had their humanity taken away from them, and helps to remind us that the brothels of Pompeii were far more than seedy tourist attractions
Harper's style is exhilaratingly direct, with images lingering long in the mind's eye. You smell the oil lamps and temple incense, taste sticky figs, feel physical blows, and the dialogue packs powerful punch too. It's a vivacious piece of work, and all underpinned by a woman's longing for freedom
A riveting tale of power, love, hate, privilege, female empowerment and female friendships found in the most unlikely situations, The Wolf Den truly delivers and you will laugh and be heartbroken alongside the women nicknamed she-wolves, whose lives were deemed disposable, and their determination to find ways to escape the brothel both in body and mind. Set in a rich and prosperous Pompeii, Amara's story takes off at a brisk pace and ultimately delivers a stunning ending that left me both satisfied and very eager for the next book in the next book in this series
What a book! Utterly compelling, unflinching in describing Amara's life as a slave-prostitute in Pompeii and so incredibly transporting. Best book I read in ages
A gripping tale, which celebrates female solidarity and empowerment in the face of oppression and adversity. Rich in historical detail, beauty and brutality, The Wolf Den brings to vivid life the doomed city of Pompeii and the powerlessness of its women. I loved it
The best historical fiction holds a mirror up to the present and The Wolf Den is a triumph. Elodie Harper transports us thousands of years and thousands of miles and yet we see ourselves reflected there
Captivating and compelling, at times heartbreaking... Reading this, it was hard to believe that this is a debut. It is well-written and deeply researched... Full of historical detail about the city so famous for its destruction... Sprinkled with just enough detail to make the setting come to life, without overpowering the story and characters at the heart of The Wolf Den... This will appeal to readers of books like Circe or Sistersong, straddling that fine line between genre fiction and broader literature... A truly modern book telling an ancient story'
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
An entertaining firecracker blazing with wolfish verve and a woman's desire to escape the Pompeii brothel she's enslaved to
A gripping historical story about a slave in Pompeii's infamous brothel
A one-of-a-kind historical novel... This is a mesmerising, richly detailed tale of sisterhood and courage that fans of Circe will love'
Vivid, wise and unflinching, this is a triumph
A tale of female solidarity and sisterhood, of women having each other's backs and caring for one another when nobody else will... If you enjoyed Jennifer Saint's Ariadne then you'll be unable to put The Wolf Den down... Elodie Harper's next book will be one to look out for'
Elodie Harper's vibrant and thrilling story is steeped in historical detail while remaining contemporary in its concerns... Harper tells her gripping tale with conviction and wit'
Well-researched, this first book of the trilogy follows Amara's growth in character and self-determination, revealing how even the lowest of slaves can strive for a reverse in fortune
Lifts the curtain on a world full of deceit, lies, abuse, lust, and above all, hope
Colourful, compelling... Harper's narrative never romanticises the exploitation Amara suffers, but it leads eventually to a kind of painful redemption'
Utterly spellbinding
A wonderfully clear-sighted tale seen from the viewpoint of its main protagonist, Amara, a doctor's daughter, who was sold as a slave into prostitution when she and her mother became destitute after his death. You really live and feel Pompeii in this book. An amazing achievement
Fab cover; fab, compelling story - this deserves to do really well, and I can't wait to read the next one
The first in a trilogy of novels centring on women in Pompeii, gift this Saturday Times bestseller to the friend who fell in love with Madeline Miller's Circe and Song of Achilles
Amara's world is vividly realised
