Book description
Being immortal isn't all it's cracked up to be. Life's hard for a
Greek god in the 21st century: nobody believes in you any more, even
your own family doesn't respect you, and you're stuck in a delapidated
hovel in north London with too many siblings and not enough hot water.
But for Artemis (goddess of hunting, professional dog walker),
Aphrodite (goddess of beauty, telephone sex operator) and Apollo (god
of the sun, TV psychic) there's no way out... Until a meek cleaner and
her would-be boyfriend come into their lives, and turn the world
literally upside down.
Gods Behaving Badly is that rare thing, a charming, funny,
utterly original first novel that satisfies the head and the heart.
Marie Phillips was born in London in 1976. She studied anthropology
and documentary making, and worked as a TV researcher for several years.
More recently she has worked as an independent bookseller whilst writing
Gods Behaving Badly
