Book Review: The Wolf Den

I am not sure how to review The Wolf Den because my knowledge about Italy’s history is very little. I must admit that choosing this book amongst the TBR pile was a result of getting convinced by one of the book bloggers I’ve been following for a very long time. The thing that really caught my interest was the synopsis for it literally spelled out that the story would be following the life of a prostitute.  So I said, sign me up for this.

Like Paola, I grew up to the scary tales of my paternal grandmother and my mother. These tales which always revolved on the horrific creatures of the Philippine folklore would usually give me nightmares or made me anxious during the day…
