''With its sharply witty prose, Aphrodite perfectly captures the charm and chaos of the Greek gods''Rosie HewlettFrom the author of Herc, a Waterstones Best Book of the Year''A joyful exploration of one woman''s quest for home, power, identity and ultimately, freedom from fate. A genuine pleasure to read!'' Clare North, author of Ithaca''With sharp dialogue and dynamic scenes, it plays like a divine reality show'' Woman&home''This is a stunningly witty tale'' Daily Express''Welcome the Real Housewives of Olympus. Stunning, brilliant, witty, so delicious it could only be divine'' Reader review ********************************************************''I’m a liar, to begin with.'' I wasn’t always a goddess, you see. My only real power was my beauty – you’ll have heard. It’s legendary. But that was never going to be enough for me.It took a web of lies to convince the gods of Olympus I was one of them. But I did. I was that good. Zeus gave me a title and riches and loved me. And all he wanted in return was for me to love him back.But of course, Zeus was a tyrant. (Not entirely surprising when you’re ninety per cent insecurities and ten per cent raw power.) I couldn’t live at someone’s mercy. Really, I had no choice. I had to take on the mightiest Olympian of all. And this bit’s not a lie… I intended to win.***************************************************Authors and readers LOVE Aphrodite:''Expect multiple POV'
