This month's book for the GAW Book Club is "Odds and Gods" by TOM HOLT.
Product Description
Wagner got it wrong. The twilight of the gods isn't that cataclysmic. After all, there's a comfy chair, a warm fire and three meals a day at the Sunnyvoyde Residential Home. Passing the time with Aphrodite, who's still quite sprighty with the aid of her Zimmer frame, isn't heaven - but it's close.
From the Back Cover
In Sunnyvoyde Residential Home the gods pass their days of retirement in quarrelling and generally getting on each other's nerves. Then one day Osiris, Sunnyvoyde's proprietor, discovers that his godson Julian is plotting to take over the world by having him certified. Forced to flee, Osiris seeks refuge in Wolverhampton at the home of his nurse, Sandra, and turns for help to his old friend Pan.
As if that wasn't enough, a group of Sunnyvoyde residents are at large on a flying traction engine…
