Paperback. Condition: Very Good. From the author of Herc, a Waterstones Best Book of the Year Particularly skilled in evoking the strangeness and contradictoriness of Greek myths Sunday Times 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 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Im a liar, to begin with. I wasnt always a goddess, you see. My only real power was my beauty youll have heard. Its 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 youre ninety per cent insecurities and ten per cent raw power.) I couldnt live at someones mercy. Really, I had no choice. I had to take on the mightiest Olympian of all. And this bits not a lie I intended to win. A wonderful tale set in Ancient Greece where a being with no power rises to the very top by outwitting other gods all while maintaining a sense of exactly who she is a goddess who intends to always do it her way. Perfect for fans of Ferdia Lennon, Madeline Miller and Jennifer Saint * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Authors and readers ADORE Aphrodite: 'Sparkles with wicked humour and boundless imagination' Kate Heartfield, Sunday Times bestselling author Welcome the Real Housewives of Olympus. Stunning, brilliant, witty, so delicious it could only be divine Reader review 'Wit and verve, contrasting laugh-out-loud humour with moments of surprising tenderness' Luna McNamara, author of Pysche and Eros 'With sharp dialogue and dynamic scenes, it plays like a divine reality show' Woman&Home 'I can't emphasise enough how much I adored this version of Aphrodite wickedly funny, caustic, fierce, playful and cheeky yet with a soft centre' Reader review 'Aphrodite gives a human voice to the inhuman goddess that you cant help but love' Lizzy Tiffin, author of Bad Girls of Ancient Greece 'If youve ever wondered what Tina Fey retelling your favorite myths would be like, Phoenicia Rogerson has the answer' Ian Doescher, author of the William Shakespeare's Star Wars series 'Greek Mythology has never been so engaging, witty and clever as now!'
