"Lovely War" & WWI w/ Dahlia Hamza Constantine

Buckle up for an emotional one as Stephanie and returning guest Dahlia Hamza Constantine discuss the second Virtual Book Club pick: Lovely War by Julie Berry. Lovely War takes place between World Wars I & II as Greek Goddess Aphrodite tells a story to her fellow gods about two couples during WWI. This novel was a rollercoaster of emotions. Whether you read (or listened) to Lovely War or not, be prepared for spoilers as well as a discussion on WWI and historical pieces set during the Great War. It's bound to be an interesting listen no matter if you read the book or not. As the material is heavy, be sure to take care of yourself :) Thank you to Dahlia for sharing so much of your personal story. Thank you to everyone who sent in their thoughts (via Instagram or by sending an email). And thank you to Julie Berry for writing this novel. Highly recommend listening to the audiobook as it has a full cast and is fantastic.
