The House with the Golden Door – Elodie Harper
The Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller. ‘Brutal yet beautiful, heartfelt yet harrowing, this is one compulsive read’ Susan Stokes-Chapman
Amara has escaped her life as a slave in Pompeii’s most notorious brothel. She now has a house, fine clothes, servants – but all are gifts from her patron, hers for as long as she keeps her place in his affections.
As she adjusts to this new life, Amara is still haunted by her past. At night she dreams of the wolf den, and the women she left behind. By day, she is pursued by her former slavemaster.
In order to be truly free, Amara will need to be as ruthless as he is. She knows she can draw strength from Venus, the goddess of love. Yet falling in love herself may prove to be Amara’s downfall.

Review from Book Club Meeting:
This was another well received book by Eloise Harper which everyone enjoyed and sparked a number of interesting conversations from women’s place in history to volcanoes and lots more!
We loved the development of some of the characters (Britannica in particular) and questioned some of Asmara’s decisions ad felt there was a lot more happening in this book than The Wolf Den. We all agreed that we will definitely read the final book in the trilogy when it’s released and there was a lot of speculation about what might happen.
Overall, The House with the Golden Door was awarded ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
