Lovely War

By Julie Berry

Heat level
Behind closed doors

**A SWEEPING, MULTI-LAYERED 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** 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 US 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. Author Julie Berry's critically acclaimed writing has been called "haunting and unforgettable" by *New York Times* bestselling author of *Salt to the Sea* Ruta Sepetys and "utterly original and instantly engrossing" by *Publishers Weekly*. This description comes from the publisher.

Content warnings

For your information, not judgment.

Severity reflects intensity, not value — “central theme” means a warning is a core part of the book, not that the book is bad.
