This was absolutely magnificent. I tore through it in two nights, you could easily finish it in a day. A riveting retelling of Sir Perceval of the round table that’s set in such a beautiful world. Nicola Griffith gets me EVERY TIME.
It explores difficult maternal relationships, and struggling with the search for approval. So good.
