audiobook narrator Sara Sheckells
A delightful fall into Arthurian legend. Author/narrator Petrea Burchard paints this time-slip tale with vibrant characters and complex hues of wit and humor. Burchard’s attention to detail is notable, with a sweeping range of historical references and accents. In Casey Clemens, readers and listeners will find a relatable protagonist who, in a quest to escape Hollywood, lands in the Dark Ages amidst a turmoil of knights, knaves, kings, and kismet. King Arthur has never been so entertaining.”
author of Venus in Winter Gilliam Bagwell
Funny, suspenseful, and poignant. The story is inventive and the writing is lovely. Casey is a likeable protagonist, easy to relate to and pull for as she encounters the figures she knows from legend and discovers that encountering them in the flesh, before their lives become the stuff of history, is an entirely different thing. Love, adventure, danger, and a well-drawn historical setting contribute to making this a book you’ll want to curl up with and read again when you’ve finished.”
author of Thank You for Listening Julia Whelan
A more-than-worthy addition to the Arthurian canon, Camelot and Vine gives listeners exactly what they want: an unlikely fish-out-of-water heroine, page-turner pacing, impeccably researched historical details, mythical characters made wonderfully human, and all of it punctuated by moments of unexpected humor and pathos. Petrea Burchard’s capable narration voice is matched only by her authorial one—and both shine like Excalibur.”
