Description
Gr 7 Up—The Greek gods relate the tale of how four young people's fates collide in a love story
for the ages. Caught by Hephaestus in an compromising position with Ares, the god of War,
Aphrodite is put on trial by her husband in a Manhattan hotel. World War II is waging, but the
goddess of Love hearkens back to the first World War to present the romantic epic tale of Brits
Hazel (a shy pianist) and James (a reluctant soldier). Hazel follows James to the Western Front,
where she meets Colette (a grieving Belgian) and Aubrey (an African American musician from
Harlem). Readers will be swept away by Berry's lyrical prose, evenly paced alternating chapters,
and unforgettable characters who will jump off the page and resonate with teens. Her acute
attention to historical detail is supported by thorough back matter touching upon the racism and
sexism of American armed forces at the time. While the conceit of meddling Greek gods
sometimes borders on contrivance, the format is ultimately successful. This rumination on the
costs of war, the healing power of love and music, and the inevitability of death will stay with
readers and tug at their hearts. VERDICT A must where historical fiction and Berry's previous titles
are popular.—Shelley M. Diaz, BookOps: The New York Public Library and Brooklyn Public
Library Read more 'Julie Berry pens an utter delight in Lovely War, an effervescent confection of a
novel filled with humor, tragedy, romance, and myth. Easily one of the best novels I have read all
year!' —Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network  'This fascinating,
gorgeously written novel of World War I will grip you and remind you that the greatest danger is
closing our hearts to love.' —Nancy Werlin, National Book Award honoree and New York Times
bestseller  “Julie Berry writes the past as if she lived it.― —Jennifer Donnelly, New York
Times bestselling author ★ “Scheherazade has nothing on Berry . . . An unforgettable
romance so Olympian in scope, human at its core, and lyrical in its prose that it must be divinely
inspired.― —Kirkus Reviews, starred review ★ 'Berryâ€s evocative novel . . . gains steam
as the stories flesh out. Along the way, it suggests that while war and its devastation cycles
through history, the forces of art and love remain steady, eternal, and life-sustaining.'Â
—Publishers Weekly, starred review★ “Poignant…will make readers, by turns, laugh,
cry, and swoon.― —The Horn Book, starred review★ “Proves again that Berry is one of
our most ambitious writers. Happily for us, that ambition so often results in great success.―
—Booklist, starred review★ 'Julie Berry [is] a modern master of historical fiction for young
readers. . . Berryâ€s superb research and attention to detail are perfectly suited to the layers of
this story of love in wartime . . . [a]Â romantic yet unflinching look at teenagers coming of age

during World War I.'Â
