There was the Vinalia, and there was also the Floralia, two particular ceremonies for prostituted women to take part in, and I wanted to reflect that in my book because I felt that for the women in my story, this would be really important.Rishi Sunak plans to delay holding the next General Election until Halloween 2024 as he bids to avoid horror show on polling day with surveys showing Tories trail Labour by 20 points The coarsest language is also specific to characters like Felix the brothel owner - he is a violent, offensive man and his way with words reflects that.'
