I've just had a book buying binge again (
damn Waterstones and Tesco with their cheap paperbacks...
).
I read Urban Grimshaw and The Shed Crew in an evening or so, a true story and a little too gritty (but
very good). So I decided to read something that was a total contrast afterwards, and I'm now onto The Mists of Avalon! I'd forgotten how good it was!
I must have read it in the mid 80's first time around and it was a library book so I've not set eyes on it since. Basically, its a retelling of the Arthurian myths from the point of view of the women, and it also has a very pagan feel to it. I'm currently at the point where Arthur is about to be conceived...
