About this listen

"Exquisitely written and structurally bold ... a deeply impressive novel" --Eva Dolan, author of This Is How It Ends

Selected for TLS Summer Books 2023

Arthur and Gwen married young. Twenty years on, Gwen's got it all: wealth, beauty, a famous husband who's the founder of Britain's most successful tech company, stables full of horses, millions of followers on Instagram, an unstable lover, a wayward son, a hoard of secrets, an aching heart, and a cyberstalking blackmailer who calls himself The Invisible Knight.

As the Wiltshire town of Abury prepares to celebrate the fortieth birthday of its favourite son, Morgan, Gwen's former best friend, is on her way back to Abury after two decades away, keen to expose Abury's long buried secrets and hell-bent on revenge.

An inventive, magisterial reworking of Britain's greatest myth, Bliss & Blunder is a heartrending novel of power, friendship and betrayal.

I think this could have been a great book but I felt the author tried to do to much in one book. Too much jumping around (between characters and along timeline) even in a single chapter, it was very discombobulated as I had to workout where/when and with whom I was. Also narrator had that annoying breathy voice that just doesn't keep my attention. If the author had just focused on one or two of the plots, maybe made this a series instead of one book it would have worked better. Seems like the author just kept shoehorning modern issues in to the book as she thought of them instead of focusing on one/two which would have been a much more interesting book/series and kept my focus more.

Couldn't follow the story, too much going on
