Book overview
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.
