​

​New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network, Kate Quinn, called “easily one of the best novels I have read all year!” 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.

​

"It’s a wonderful book, romantic and deeply moving yet also leavened by wit.” - Wall Street Journal

​

"An unforgettable romance so Olympian in scope, human at its core,  and lyrical in its prose that it must be divinely inspired." - Kirkus , (starred review). 

​

Berry’s sweeping, multifaceted historical novel mixes Greek gods with the brutally described horrors of war, the tenderness of love, and the evils of racism—all with remarkable intensity. Lovely War proves again that Berry is one of our most ambitious writers. - Booklist

​

The Lovely War audio book, "brings narratorial range and nuance to Berry’s sweeping World War I epic, exploring giddy romance as well as the weary introspection of a generation lost in brutal trench warfare. Tender stolen moments between a solider boy and a piano girl lend universality to this heart-wrenching romance." -YALSA
