Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Canadian Edition. A very nice copy without flaw. 6 X 9" 277 pages. Decorated end pages. Being immortal isn't all it's cracked up to be. Life's hard for a Greek god in the 21st-century: nobody believes in you any more, even your own family doesn't respect you, and you're stuck in a dilapidated hovel in north London with too many siblings and not enough hot water. But for Artemis (goddess of hunting/professional dog walker,) Aphrodite (goddess of beauty/telephone sex operator) and Apollo (god of the sun/TV psychic) there's no way out - until a meek cleaning lady and her would be boyfriend come into their lives, and turn the world literally upside down. Funny, engaging and completely original, Gods Behaving Badly is a book you will be talking about for months. Inscribed by Marie Phillips while on her Canadian book tour promoting her first novel.
