Beginner's Greek
"Peter Russell is one of those deeply romantic men who still believe in fate. He has always believed that he would meet the love of his life like that, in an instant. So it's only with the shock of recognition and assured providence that he opens his eyes on a business trip from New York to Los Angeles and sees her. Her name is Holly. As in the very best romantic movies, Peter and Holly fall madly in love on their five-and-a-half-hour flight. When they apart, Holly gives him her phone number on the title page of her book, Thomas Mann's The magic mountain. But later, in his hotel room, Peter reaches into his jacket pocket and finds to his absolute horror that the page is inexplicably, tragically, gone."--Container.

- "The Greek gods are alive, well and residing in a rundown London townhouse. When they're not moonlighting in the human professions--Artemis as a dog-walker, Apollo as a television psychic, Aphrodite as a phone sex operator--they are feuding among themselves. Imagine Big Brother with superpowers. How else would one pass the long centuries of eternity? Disturbingly, their power is not what it used to be, and even turning mortals into trees is sapping their vital reserves of strength ... Soon, what begins as a minor squabble between roommates Aphrodite and Apollo escalates into an epic battle of wills. Two perplexed humans, Alice and Neil, who are caught in the crossfire, must fear not only for their own lives, but for the survival of mankind. Nothing less than a true act of heroism is needed--but can these two decidedly ordinary people replicate the feats of the mythical heroes and save the world?"@en
- "While on a business trip from New York to Los Angeles, Peter Russell meets the woman of his dreams and by the end of the flight the two fall madly in love. She gives him her phone number on a page torn from the book she is reading, but he inexplicably loses it. Eventually he marries someone else, but continues to long for her."@en
- "Falling hopelessly in love with a woman whose contact information he loses, Peter Russell perpetuates a series of events involving a woman's complicated marriage to a man in love with someone else, a man's debauchery, and an evil boss."
