BLISS & BLUNDER

Catrin Walker-Booth narrates this contemporary remastering of Arthurian legend with the plights of various women the focus. Arthur is CEO of a successful tech company that has issues with female employees. Gwen, an online influencer with plenty of haters, is his wife; Lance, a veteran, is Arthur's friend and Gwen's lover. Listeners will respond to Arthur's desperation to keep his marriage and company afloat and to Lance's trauma, both from war and his affair. Where Walker-Booth truly shines is in her depictions of Gwen, who is trying to keep her private life together in a public forum, and of Morgan, Gwen's best friend from school days who returns after decades away. In this world, women are either princesses or witches, but this narrator infuses the women with both qualities. L.M.G. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2024]
