Aphrodite
Novinka
From the author of Herc, a Waterstones Best Book of the Year 'I’m a liar, to begin with.' I wasn’t always a goddess, you see. My only real power was my beauty – you’ll have heard. It’s legendary. But that was never going to be enough for me. It took a web of lies to convince the gods of Olympus I was one of them. But I did. I was that good. Zeus gave me a title and riches and loved me. And all he wanted in return was for me to love him back. But of course, Zeus was a tyrant. (Not entirely surprising when you’re ninety per cent insecurities and ten per cent raw power.) I couldn’t live at someone’s mercy. Really, I had no choice. I had to take on the mightiest Olympian of all. And this bit’s not a lie… I intended to win.
About the Author Phoenicia Rogerson has no discernible sense of direction so it’s only natural that she’d get lost in books. When she’s not reading, writing, or spinning in circles, she can be found knitting copious amounts of socks and throwing herself in freezing water. Originally from Cornwall, she now finds herself in London, where she’s aiming for the highest possible bookshelf-to-floor space ratio. Aphrodite is her second novel. She is a winner of the Somerset Maugham Award 2024 for her debut, Herc.
