Audio Book
I first read this book about 15 years ago but this is the first time I have listened to it. Listening to an audio book is a completely different thing for me than actually reading it is so I could say the story new for several reasons. The first reason is that I am forced to go at the narrator's pace. If it's a book I really like as in this case I get a lot more detail that my eyes have a tendency to skip over in its hurry to find out what happens next. The second reason is that during the intervening 15 years I have read a lot of other books and I have forgotten a to of it. It was time for me to revisit this one.
Book Description
In Marion Zimmer Bradley's masterpiece, we see the tumult and adventures of Camelot's court through the eyes of the women who bolstered the king's rise and schemed for his fall. From their childhoods through the ultimate fulfillment of their destinies, we follow these women and the diverse cast of characters that surrounds them as the great Arthurian epic unfolds stunningly before us. As Morgaine and Gwenhwyfar struggle for control over the fate of Arthur's kingdom, as the Knights of the Round Table take on their infamous quest, as Merlin and Viviane wield their magics for the future of Old Britain, the Isle of Avalon slips further into the impenetrable mists of memory, until the fissure between old and new worlds' and old and new religions' claims its most famous victim.
