Publisher Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A critically acclaimed, multi-layered young adult romance set in the perilous days of World Wars I and II, where gods hold the fates—and the hearts—of four mortals in their hands.
“Pick an adjective—sweeping, sprawling, epic, Olympian—and yet none quite conveys the emotional width and depth of Julie Berry’s brilliant novel.”—The Washington Post
“Filled with humor, tragedy, romance, and myth.”—Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network
They are Hazel, James, Aubrey, and Colette. A classical pianist from London, a British would-be architect-turned-soldier, a Harlem-born ragtime genius in the U.S. Army, and a Belgian orphan with a gorgeous voice and a devastating past. Their story, as told by goddess Aphrodite—who must spin the tale or face judgment on Mount Olympus—is filled with hope and heartbreak, prejudice and passion, and reveals that, though War is a formidable force, it’s no match for the transcendent power of Love.
Customer Reviews
Sweet love story
Easy read, cute story, not too sad
Awesome
This book was an awesome read start to finish, I loved the two plots but it got confusing at times. I loved how we could be there with the characters and experience their situations with them. But I thought I would enjoy reading the Greek Mythology twist, but sadly I didn’t. It didn’t seem necessary. All and all a great book
Excellent
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel. All the betrayal, pain, and unexpected events that takes place, and yet you find the characters pushing through.
