Read a sample Read a sample
A thoroughly modern tale of love, angst and divine intervention

'A delight; deftly told, light in tone, and both amusing and charming' Guardian

'A sharp, funny and dazzlingly clever novel, so stuffed with wit and clever apercus that is not fair on other novelists. But, don't be misled by its exuberance, there is a serious purpose at its heart - and courage in tackling one of society's most enduring myths...' Elizabeth Buchan
Rebecca Finch is a successful romantic novelist who has fallen out with love. When she heads off to Paris and doesn't care that she has absent-mindedly left her boyfriend, things look bad. But when her god-daughter asks her if marriage is a good idea and she can't think of a single reason to reply yes, she realises the problem is serious.
Meanwhile, on Mount Olympus, Aphrodite is fretting because divorce rates are rocketing and Eros seems to be shooting arrows carelessly without a thought for the compatibility of his victims. With her earth-bound acolyte, Rebecca, showing disillusionment, Aphrodite resolves to take drastic action...
