![]() The same might be said for Aubrey, a ragtime musician in the Harlem Hellfighters, when he encounters Colette, a Belgian singer with a tragic past. That their romance can develop through letters (read by Fiona Hardingham and Steve West) in the face of the carnage in France is truly a testament to the goddess of love. Hazel, a shy concert pianist, meets James, a new military recruit, in London just before he ships out to the Western Front. Four of her favorite lovers: Aubrey, Colette, Hazel, and James, spring to life (and become too acquainted with death) from the WWI era while Nathaniel Parker’s boastful Ares, John Lee’s foreboding Hades, and Dion Graham’s smoothly hip Apollo each contributes parts of the tale. To avoid judgment on Olympus, Aphrodite (Jane Entwistle) relates a poignant story from an earlier time to demonstrate how mortals respond to her special talents. Allan Corduner’s chameleonic tones frame the story of an Olympian encounter among Greek gods in a 1942 Manhattan hotel room. A dream team of narrators is assembled to give voice to this unique book about love and war. ![]()
