Gods Behaving Badly.
Trade ReviewVery, very funny and delightfully original as well as acutely clever in a makes-you-think-about-contemporary-morality-without-realising-it kind of way... this novel will not only make you laugh and give you a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling, it will also provide a good basic grounding in Greek mythology * Independent *
What makes the novel stand out - and it really does stand out - is its originality and lightness of touch * Daily Telegraph *
The Olympians are immortal - this we all know. But it has taken Marie Phillips' wit to put them back where they belong - into a decrepit 21st-century London bedsit. It is all very, very funny...this book charms and provokes in a paragraph. I am writing this in Delphi, dangling my feet in Apollo's sacred spring - the water is said to bring the muse. Phillips clearly has a bottle of it on her desk -- Bettany Hughes * The Times *
An absolutely delightful novel * Scotland on Sunday *
Ingeniously imagined and satisfyingly lusty * Guardian *
