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.
