Lovely War
by Julie Berry
“It’s not the body county. Volcano God,” says Apollo. “It’s the terrible beauty of a massively destructive force. When Poseidon shakes the earth and tsunamis wipe out the coastline, it’s something to see. You loved Mount Vesuvius. Admit it. You took pride in Pompeii”
This book made me cry a number of times as it painted the heartache of La Grande Guerre through the love stories of two couples, and the immortal gods that narrated them. This is simply a beautiful story and one I am so glad I picked up.
Can you recall your first real kiss? All that rushed upward from your feet to your face, all that awoke in you that you hadn’t realized was sleeping?
There’s nothing like the rightness of it. Nothing like its wonder. If I see it a trillion more times before this world spirals into the sun, I’ll still be an awed spectator, right to the last, drinking in its nectar in holy jealousy.
