Reviews
BLISS & BLUNDER, like the questing beast of legend, is many things at once; epic, sprawling yet intricate, it's a novel of action and intimacy, an astute critique of our technological era, a fitting homage to Arthurian myth, and a moving, highly original story in its own right.
A thrilling romp through contemporary Britain with an eye on its ancient past. Victoria Gosling's BLISS & BLUNDER manages to be simultaneously pacy, rich and formally adventurous.
A clever retelling
Exquisitely written and structurally bold...a deeply impressive novel.
Jaw-droppingly brilliant writing.
Engrossing, beguiling...a richly talented author.
This modern take is funny and fresh. Throw in a love triangle, blackmail and someone hellbent on revenge, and you have a gripping read.
The implosion of their relationship, representing the strain on the female camaraderie, is the beating heart of the book. BLISS & BLUNDER fills a gap, an ode to the power of women united in an incisive state of the nation novel.
