Aphrodite’s Workshop for Reluctant Lovers is a thoroughly modern tale of love, angst and divine intervention. Its heroine is Rebecca Finch, a highly successful romantic novelist who has fallen out of love with love. When she heads off for a weekend in Paris and doesn’t care that she has absent-mindedly left her boyfriend on the platform in Waterloo, things look bad. But when her god-daughter, struck with pre-wedding jitters, asks Rebecca if marriage is a good idea, and she can’t think of a single reason to reply ‘yes’, she realises it’s serious. The ‘High Priestess of Romance’ is having a crisis of faith. On Mount Olympus, things aren’t any easier. Aphrodite is stressed because divorce rates are rocketing and nobody is taking her seriously any more, and Eros, going through a difficult phase, seems to be carelessly shooting arrows without even a thought for the basic compatibility of his victims. So with even her favourite earth-bound acolyte, Rebecca Finch, showing signs of disillusionment, Aphrodite resolves to take drastic action… This is an immensely funny and sharp witted love story that has a feel-good twist, by acclaimed and bestselling author Marika Cobbold. Aphrodite’s Workshop for Reluctant Lovers will be published in February 2009. [/u][/b] |
