The Mists of Avalon (16)

Title: The Mists of Avalon
Author: Marion Zimmer Bradley
Genre: Fiction
This is a wonderful fantasy novel. A feminist re-imagining of the Arthurian legends. I like Bradley’s version so much better than all the traditional ones. Even in it’s fantasy setting this book casts a scathingly critical eye to Christianity’s mysogny and inherent sexism. It is glorious. It took me a good week to read as it’s nearly 900 pages but it was well worth every minute.
