BuzzFeed, Best Books of March 2022
"[A] fascinating, well-researched insight into Roman social politics surrounding sex work, a part of history that's often ignored." --
Shondaland "[Harper] has that rare knack of making the reader believe she was there, stylus in hand, chronicling what she witnessed. Vivid, wise and unflinching, this is a triumph." --
The London Times, Book of the Month May 2021
"A one-of-a-kind historical novel... This is a mesmerising, richly detailed tale of sisterhood and courage that fans of Circe will love." --
Red Magazine, "The Best Books to Read this May"
"There's nothing like being transported to a different place and time and wholeheartedly believing you are there...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, Best Books 2021
"Harper's style is exhilaratingly direct... you smell the oil lamps and temple incense, taste sticky figs, feel physical blows... It's a vivacious piece of work, and all underpinned by a woman's longing for freedom." -- LoveReading
"A gripping historical story." --
The Independent "
The Wolf Den is an enthralling, exhilarating read from its first page to its last. . . . Both a fascinating tale in its own right and an important reclaiming of the sorts of stories from history we far too rarely get to hear. . . . Like almost nothing else that exists in this genre at present, carefully drawing contemporary parallels that will feel deeply familiar in a world where modern women still must fight far too hard for autonomy, equality, and the right to feel both safe in and in charge of their own bodies." --
Paste Magazine "The visceral storyline weaves a soul-stirring web of intrigue. . . . The Wolf Den is the first in a promising new series focusing on the marginalized voices of the past, and their hopes and dreams will resonate with present-day readers." --
