Beschrijving boek
The perfect ingredients for a contemporary love story: two lonely people; a chance meeting at a life drawing class; an almost instant attraction. But why do Jessie and Patrick keep misunderstanding each other, missing each other? What is it that conspires to keep them apart?
Jessie doesn’t know it but her weakness for wild men with a murky past is going to get her into very deep water. And Patrick, despite his resolutions, has not succeeded in breaking free of the childish longing to be looked after, cosseted, sorted out. If you throw in a charming Welsh farmhouse and a life of rural bliss it could be the recipe for the perfect love story. So why isn’t it?
Down Among the Gods is an urban romance with a difference. A tale of immortals acted by mortals it is an extraordinary, disquieting tale of human powerlessness in the face of the games played by the gods of classic mythology and marks the arrival of a major new literary talent.
