The novel is a rethinking of the fate of women in ancient Pompeii. The story is about how to change circumstances, forgive oneself and find inner freedom. Amara is a slave in Pompeii, her body belongs to men she despises. But her spirit is not broken. By day she walks the streets with her friends in misfortune, finding solace in laughter and dreams of a better future. Five years before the eruption of Vesuvius, the doomed city lives a carefree life: lavish festivities, feasts at rich villas, fights of gladiators. The streets of Pompeii are full of opportunities, and even a slave is able to catch luck by the tail. But what price must be paid? Amara will have to find out what she's willing to sacrifice for freedom. Who this book is for: For fans of the novels Song of Achilles and Circea by Madeleine Miller, Silent Girls by Pat Barker, and A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes. For fans of Greek retellings. For fans of stories about female friendship, support, and humanity.
