The novel's characters are all well-developed and complex, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Aubrey and Colette's story is one of racial injustice and discrimination, as they must overcome the prejudices of the time to be together. Meanwhile, Hazel must navigate the challenges of being a female pianist in a male-dominated industry. Hazel and James' story is one of love and loss, as James enlists in the army and is sent to fight on the front lines. Throughout the book, we learn about the struggles and triumphs of each couple, as well as the impact of the war on their lives. The two stories they tell are those of two couples during World War I: Hazel and James, a British pianist and an American soldier, and Aubrey and Colette, a black soldier and a Belgian singer.
They discuss the impact of love and war on humanity, and to prove their points, they each tell a story from their own perspective. The novel begins in 1942 with the Greek goddess Aphrodite and the god of war, Ares, arguing in a Manhattan hotel room. With a combination of romance, war, and mythology, Berry has created a unique and compelling tale that will leave readers spellbound. "Lovely War" by Julie Berry is a captivating historical fiction novel that beautifully weaves together the stories of four young adults during World War I.
