“Who wouldn’t want Ms Higgins as their Latin mistress? From a deep acquaintance with both Roman poets…and television soaps…she has worked out “how to get laid, Roman-style.” — The Times (London)
“Engaging, and sometimes very funny. … Hilarious.” — The Guardian
“Latin Love Lessons is written with a light touch and a sense of humour that make it a delight to read. It’s as useful to an A-level Latin scholar as it is to anyone who has ever fallen in love.” — Time Out London
Higgins takes the reader on a romp through the naughty bits of ancient verse, from the lewd epigrams of Catullus through to Ovid’s instructions to the lover. As she points out…whatever Cosmopolitan might think, Virgil said it better. … A funny, gloriously erudite and charming book. — Scotland on Sunday
