Lovely War
Julie Berry
Greek gods and goddesses watch and interfere in the lives of two young couples during World War II. Hazel, a pianist from London, volunteers to entertain troops and meets James, a British private who becomes a sharpshooter. Colette, a Belgian singer with a difficult past, and Aubrey, an African American soldier and jazz musician, form the other pair. Aphrodite, Ares, Apollo, and Hades each narrate episodes involving the four mortals, shaping their lives as war and love intersect. The story combines romance, music, mythology, and wartime experience.
