Join us for the Campbell County Senior Ce nter book club as this month we read \;Lovely War by Juli e Berry
\n
It's 1917\, and World War I is at its zenith when Hazel and James first catch sight of each other at a London party. She's a shy and talented pia nist\; he's a newly minted soldier with dreams of becoming an architect. W hen they fall in love\, it's immediate and deep--and cut short when James is shipped off to the killing fields. \;Aubrey Edwards is also headed toward the trenches. A gifted musician who's played Carnegie Hall\, he's a member of the 15th New York Infantry\, an all-African-American regiment b eing sent to Europe to help end the Great War. Love is the last thing on h is mind. But that's before he meets Colette Fournier\, a Belgian chanteuse who's already survived unspeakable tragedy at the hands of the Germans.&n bsp\;Thirty years after these four lovers' fates collide\, the Greek godde ss Aphrodite tells their stories to her husband\, Hephaestus\, and her lov er\, Ares\, in a luxe Manhattan hotel room at the height of World War II. She seeks to answer the age-old question: Why are Love and War eternally d rawn to one another? But her quest for a conclusion that will satisfy her jealous husband uncovers a multi-threaded tale of prejudice\, trauma\, and music and reveals that War is no match for the power of Love.
