When Gods Play Matchmaker in Humanity's Darkest Hour
Imagine the Greek goddess of love standing trial before her husband, caught in a golden net with her lover Ares. Her defense? Two love stories that unfolded during World War I - her masterpiece of divine matchmaking. This is the premise of "Lovely War," where immortal narrators illuminate the precious, fleeting nature of mortal love against the backdrop of humanity's most devastating conflict. The story begins in London, November 1917, where shy pianist Hazel Windicott plays at a parish dance and catches the eye of James Alderidge, a young British soldier about to deploy to France. Their connection is electric, immediate, and doomed to be interrupted by war's cruel timing. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, a young Black musician named Aubrey Edwards performs with the groundbreaking Clef Club Orchestra, unaware that his talent will soon carry him into both the horrors of war and an unexpected romance that defies the rigid racial boundaries of his era.
