Courte biographie
Anne Eliot Crompton grew up in a college town in the 1940s, a time when women’s roles in myth were less acknowledged than today. When she married and moved to the country to raise children and animals, she realized how much "heavy lifting" had been done by women throughout human history. Part of her life’s work was to shine light on their immense contribution to the human story. Many of her works are interpretations of Arthurian legend.

Good first page. Good tussle with conscience. Otherwise just okay.

This was an interesting take on the Arthurian mythos with Gawain and the Green Knight and various Green Man allegories along with the clash of Paganism and Christianity and different traditions across Britain. It felt a little too self-aware.
I see what the author was trying for but it just didn't have either a mythic or realistic feel to it for me.

This is a strange book with odd shifts in deixis, verb tense, and perspective. It's dream-like in its confusions, and while this works and I enjoyed it, I can't help but imagine what someone with more resources might have done with the ideas. I might read it again, to think about the strangeness (especially odd syntax without a subject), but I can't say why.
