General Comments: A heady mix of Greek mythology, historical fiction and romance; this meticulously researched novel spans two-wars and two-worlds. It masters weaving disparate elements to craft a truly original story populated with characters who take up permanent residence in your heart and mind. There is some levity for amusement with the Greek Immortals’ snarky comments and constant competition.
