Stunning, brilliant, witty, so delicious it could only be divine'' Reader review ********************************************************''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.***************************************************Authors and readers LOVE Aphrodite:''Expect multiple POV''s, humour (duh), strong female energy, love, action, war, all packaged in a beautifully crafted, comprehensive story'' Reader review *****''Sparkles with wicked humour and boundless imagination'' Kate Heartfield, Sunday Times bestselling author''I can''t emphasise enough how much I adored this version of Aphrodite – wickedly funny, caustic, fierce, playful and cheeky yet with a soft centre'' Reader review *****''Wit and verve, contrasting laugh-out-loud humour with moments of surprising tenderness'' Luna McNamara, author of Pysche and Eros''The humour, character, and revitalised plot made this one of my favourite reads this year'' Reader review *****''Aphrodite gives a human voice to the inhuman goddess that you can’t help but love'' Lizzy Tiffin, author of Bad Girls of Ancient Greece''Aphrodite is truly a masterpiece'' Reader review *****''If you’ve ever wondered what Tina Fey retelling your favorite myths would be like, Phoenicia Rogerson has the answer'' Ian Doescher, author of the William Shakespeare''s Star Wars series''Brilliant book'' Reader review *****''Will excite, anger and sadden you through its cinematic cast of characters, some of whom you want to win just as much as you want them to fail'' Akeem Balogun, author of The Storm''I had a smile on my face for the majority of the book, and devoured it in two reading sessions…Greek Mythology has never been so engaging, witty and clever as now!''

A Prospect ''History Book of the Year'' 2024A Guardian ''Best Gift Book of 2024''''A masterly engagement with the most delicate and important of subjects - filled with gentle empathy, learning and rare balance'' Rory Stewart''Rogerson is an original - eloquent and always fascinating ... few British authors understand the Middle East so intimately and well'' William DalrympleRecommended on The Rest is Politics and EmpireAt the heart of the Middle East, with its regional conflicts and proxy wars, is a 1400-year-old schism between Sunni and Shia. To understand this divide and its modern resonances, we need to revisit its origins, which go back to the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632, the accidental coup that set aside the claims of his cousin and son-in-law Ali, and the slaughter of Ali''s own son Husayn at Kerbala. These events, known to every Muslim, have created a slender faultline in the Middle East. The House Divided follows these narratives from the first Sunni and Shia caliphates, through the medieval caliphates and empires of the Arabs, Persians and Ottomans, to the contemporary Middle East. It shows how a complex range of identities and rivalries - religious, ethnic and national - have shaped the region, jolted by the seismic shift of the Iranian Revolution of 1979. Rogerson''s original approach takes the modern chessboard of nation states and looks at each through its particular history of empires and occupiers, minorities and resources, sheikhs and imams. The result is a book of wide-ranging empathy, understanding and insights.

She’s just the Goddess of Love and Beauty. And that’s exactly what she wants them to think. Naked and salt-soaked, Aphrodite is born from the waves. Knowing nothing of who or what she is, she quickly discovers that she has incredible power and the kind of beauty that makes men mad. Her blood pulses with the same call: home, home, home. Cue Olympus, the home of the gods. But Olympus turns out to be a seething snake-pit, and love is never simple. Ordained the mere Goddess of Love and Beauty, the threatened and spiteful gods and goddesses seek different ways to control Aphrodite. As a trap closes in around her, she learns that it is a curse to be seen as nothing but beautiful – but it may also be her strongest weapon. The gods of Olympus will soon learn not to underestimate the Goddess of Love and Beauty.
