Morgan is my name by Sophie Keetch is an absolutely wonderful version of Morgan Le Fay’s story. Unputdownable and gorgeously written.
All the characters are drawn so well, and the threads of Arthurian legend make sense in a way that they have not done before.
No spoilers but if you loved Mary Stewart’s trilogy or other retellings of the Arthur story, this is a must-read: a new feminist perspective on the story, and a psychologically convincing one. The descriptions of the castles are a bit too high -medieval for a story set in the 6th century—but what’s important is how this story brings Morgan and Elaine and Morgause to life, as well as Gorlois and Igraine. Top notch.
The landscape and the magic are also beautifully written.
