Lovely war book review5/11/2023 The most brutal war the world has ever seen brought these four together, but will it also tear them apart forever? Colette’s grief still consumes her four years later, but when she meets Aubrey, a black American soldier with a gift for ragtime, Colette has to admit that spending time with him-singing and making music like she’s never heard before-lessens the pain. There, she befriends Colette, a Belgian teen who lost her whole family (and her beau) during the Battle of Dinant. Hazel, a talented pianist, puts her future on hold to volunteer as a YMCA relief aid in France. But James is on his way to the fighting in France, so they continue their relationship via letters. Julie Berry, a modern master of historical fiction for young readers, follows the epic love stories of four teens in Lovely War, set against the dramatic backdrop of World War I and narrated by the Greek gods of love, war, music and death.īrits Hazel and James meet at a parish dance, and thanks to gentle intervention from Aphrodite herself, sparks fly.
