'Exquisitely written and structurally bold ... a deeply impressive novel' Eva Dolan, author of This Is How It Ends Selected for TLS Summer Books 2023 Arthur and Gwen married young. Twenty years on, Gwen's got it all: wealth, beauty, a famous husband who's the founder of Britain's most successful tech company, stables full of horses, millions of followers on Instagram, an unstable lover, a wayward son, a hoard of secrets, an aching heart, and a cyberstalking blackmailer who calls himself The Invisible Knight. As the Wiltshire town of Abury prepares to celebrate the fortieth birthday of its favourite son, Morgan, Gwen's former best friend, is on her way back to Abury after two decades away, keen to expose Abury's long buried secrets and hellbent on revenge. An inventive, magisterial reworking of Britain's greatest myth, Bliss & Blunder is a heartrending novel of power, friendship and betrayal.

I wasn‘t enamoured by the first 30 pages, but the book was in my bag for my commute and lunchtime, so I persevered and ended up really enjoying it.
There is a lot going on and I didn‘t necessarily get all of it- but the author is trying to do some really clever things and mainly pulls it off.
Another one of those feminist re-tellings, always here for them.

Cyclorama passed on from Helen 😁
The Coben from Oxfam.
Others from indie shops in Liverpool- Dead Ink Books and News from Nowhere.
Dead Ink was a big hit.
Lovely day with Helen and Emma! We‘ll get some reading in next time we see each other ♥️
