"The Greek goddess Aphrodite recounts two tales of tragic love during WWI to her husband, Hephaestus, and her lover, Ares, in a luxe Manhattan hotel room at the height of World War II. She seeks to answer the age-old question: 'Why are Love and War eternally drawn to one another?' but her quest for a conclusion that will satisfy her jealous husband uncovers a multi-threaded tale of prejudice, trauma, and music revealing that War is no match for the power of Love"--OCLC.

From the publisher:
The goddess Aphrodite tells her husband Hephaestos and lover Ares a tale of two couples, brought together and then separated by World War II, questioning why Love and War are always drawn together.
