Lovely War

In a Manhattan hotel room during WWII, Aphrodite has been caught having an affair with Ares by her husband (and Ares’ brother), Hephaestus. When he puts her on trial, Aphrodite recruits Hades and Apollo as her defense to tell a tale of four young people whose lives intertwined during the first World War. Death, love, music, and war all have their parts to play in sweeping us up in this beautiful and tragic tale of love found, lost, and found again. I simply could not put it down.
