The Mists of Avalon - Marion Zimmer Bradley

[Luke]

The Mists of Avalon, Marion Zimmer Bradley, 1983, United States, NOVEL

""There is no such thing as a true tale. Truth has many faces and truth is like to the old road to Avalon; it depends on your own will and your own thoughts, whither the road will take you."...Viviane is the Lady of the Lake, the magical priestess of the Isle of Avalon, a special mist-shrouded place which becomes more difficult to reach as people turn away from its nature- and Goddess-oriented religion..."

(G.B., p. 185)

There's been controversy about how to approach her work in light of allegations that the late author may have been sexually abusive.

Yes, this work is but the most recent in the line of 500 BBGW that are problematic. I hope that these discussions provide a space for meaningful debate over such matters, for there's no use for the moniker "Great Books By Women" if no one challenges it every so often.
