Inhaltsangabe

Being immortal is not all it once was. Yes, the twelve Greek gods of Olympus are alive and well in the twenty-first century, but they are crammed together in a London town house-and are none too happy about it. Even more disturbing, their powers are waning.
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, Alice, and her would-be boyfriend, Neil, turn their world literally upside down. When what begins as a minor squabble between Aphrodite and Apollo escalates into an epic battle of wills, Alice and Neil are caught in the cross fire, and they must fear not only for their own lives, but for the survival of humankind. Nothing less than a true act of heroism is needed-but can these two decidedly ordinary people replicate the feats of the mythical heroes and save the world?
GODS BEHAVING BADLY is that rare thing: a charming, funny, utterly original first novel that satisfies the head and the heart.

Rezensionen

Wouldn't you act badly if you were one of a group of forgotten Greek gods now trying to make a living and maintain a dilapidated flat in London? Rosalyn Landor gives each god the respect he deserves and endows them all with varying shades of arrogance. Apollo, star of a TV show on psychics, is furious at the injustice of being spurned by Alice, a mortal, and of being robbed of his power by the other gods. Artemis, a dog walker who is well heeled, haughty, and judgmental, turns Neil, a mere mortal, into a hero. In addition to creating convincing portraits, Landor projects the author's considerable gift for irony. Her reading captures the humorous details that bridge the ancient past and the bizarre present.
