Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Philips AUDIO

After Hollinghurst I was now on a good run, in the same vein as
Sandman but in prose and very very funny Gods Behaving Badly is about Greek gods living in the present day. Apollo, who Gaiman's Sandman is associated with, is a very different person in this book

Au: "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 cleaner and her would-be boyfriend come into their lives and turn the world literally upside down."
