Will I love Olympus, Texas?

I read this book because my favorite writing instructor, Stacy Swann, wrote it; otherwise, I rarely choose literary fiction, yet this one is worth the effort and the literary tag.

The great takeaway from peeling the onion on these complicated characters through unexpected twists and turns is a call for maturity. To understand oneself grants human beings the clarity to see those we love with all their flaws and foibles. 

Is there any family more dysfunctional than the Greek gods? In this modern-day saga, author Stacey Swann skillfully reimagines our favorite gods as regular people caught up in the very human drama of lust, jealousy, secrets, and even murder. The author slyly crafts multiple myth-inspired vignettes, then fits them together like puzzle pieces. The central conflict is a clever spin on Aphrodite’s affair with her ho-hum hubby Hephaestus’s fiery brother Ares (the unholy union that created Cupid!). What I love most about Swann’s storytelling is her snappy dialogue – these characters don’t pull any punches! Even though we don’t really… show more.
