Synopsis

Thompson's marriage of modern and ancient, real and imaginary is impressive...Kate Thompson has created something very special (Aisling Foster, TLS)An extraordinary new British author (BOOKSELLER)An original and funny take on the eternal conundrum of why relationships go wrong (SUNDAY TIMES)Highly original and quirky but ultimately disconcerting, in a Homeric kind of way. (U MAGAZINE) It seems to hold the perfect ingredients for a 90s love story. Two lonely people, a chance meeting at an adult education class, an almost instant attraction. But why do they keep misunderstanding each other, missing each other? What is it that conspires to keep Jessie and Patrick apart? DOWN AMONG THE GODS is an urban romance with a difference. A tale of mortals acted by immortals, it is an extraordinary, disquieting tale of human powerlessness in the face of the havoc wreaked by the Gods of classical mythology.
