Not since A.S. Byatt's "Possession" has there been a novel so perfectly attuned to readers who love the history and mythology of the British Isles.

Produktbeschreibung
Not since A.S. Byatt's "Possession" has there been a novel so perfectly attuned to readers who love the history and mythology of the British Isles.
Set against a rich historical landscape evoked by the secret places and half-forgotten legends of the British countryside, Finding Camlann is both a "fascinating mystery that will engage readers attracted by history, myth and language" (Washington Independent Review of Books) and a "beautifully written, intelligent, and ingenious" (Gillian Bradshaw) novel of how stories shape our notions of the past-and of ourselves. Archaeologist Donald Gladstone is sure that there never was a "real" King Arthur-that is, until a surprising find at Stonehenge seems to offer hard evidence of Arthur's existence. Teaming up with Julia Llewellyn, a gifted linguist working at the Oxford English Dictionary, Donald sets off on a literary and mythological quest that will change both of their lives. Gloriously many-layered, Finding Camlann is a deeply satisfying love story, a gripping detective story, and a narrative journey of myriad pleasures.
