' Here is the magical legend of King Arthur, vividly retold through the eyes and lives of the woman who wielded power from behind the throne. There is the darkley bewitching Morgaine, half sister to Arthur and a high priestess in the enchanted land of Avalon, where women rule as the creators of life and keepers of knowledge. For Morgaine there is but one quest; to wrest Britain away from Christianity - the new religion which views women as the carriers of original sin - and to return it to the worship of the mother Goddess. The fair and lovely Queen Gwynhefar is torn between her duty to her king and the new god, and her passion for the dashing Lancelot. Both women struggle and suffer, and both - in their own extraorinary ways triumph.' ' I loved the book so much I went out and bought it for a friend, and have told many people about it. Why did no one ever think before to tell the story of King Arthur from the perspective of women!' Jean M. Auel ' A monumental reimaging of the Arthurian legends...reading it is a deeply moving and at times uncanny experience.. An impressive achievement.' The New York Times Book Review |
