Sinossi
Tutta un’altra storia
La vita della giovane Morgana di Cornovaglia viene stravolta dall’arrivo al castello di Tintagel del re Uther Pendragon, che, con l’aiuto del potente mago Merlino, riesce a impossessarsi della corona, uccidendo brutalmente suo padre e costringendo sua madre alle nozze. Morgana non può accettare di sottomettersi senza combattere: in cerca di vendetta, sfida il patrigno e inizia a studiare le arti magiche. Ma la sua ribellione ha un prezzo. Usata come merce di scambio nei giochi di potere di corte, Morgana si ritrova esiliata in un mondo di subdoli intrighi e bugie, tra macchinazioni di feroci re e malvagi stregoni. Per conquistare l’indipendenza, Morgana dovrà mettere in campo arguzia e coraggio, e combattere contro chi vuole negare la sua intelligenza, domare il suo spirito e controllare il suo corpo. In questa ricerca disperata della libertà, ci sono in gioco le cose a lei più care: il suo onore, le persone che ama, la sua stessa vita.

Recensioni
Rated 4.5/5 stars! It can be hard to live up to a story quite literally built from legend, but Sophie Keetch has managed it. From the very first page, I knew this would be a story I adored. The writing is enthralling, instantly pulling you into a story deeply entwined with politics and family ties, f Leggi tutto
Morgan is My Name is a beautifully written feminist retelling of the villainess Morgan le Fay. Until her father’s death, Morgan had a happy childhood. Morgan’s hatred for her father’s killer, King Uther Pendragon, ignites when he tricks her mother into marrying him. Morgan’s parents allowed and enco Leggi tutto
Vanessa Kirby brilliantly narrates this tale, and her voice fits Morgan le Fey incredibly well. The narrator can add or subtract so much from a book! In the retelling of this classic Arthurian legend tale, we meet Morgan, a star with a strong feminine presence who is quite the rebel; the malevolent H Leggi tutto
Sophie Keetch's Morgan Is My Name goes beyond Morgan's infamous reputation as a villainous sorceress to a feminist retelling of her childhood and early adulthood. Sophie does a great job exploring Morgan's fierce character and ambiguous morality with beautiful writing and good world-building. There
Morgan is My Name is a feminist retelling of the Arthurian legend, told from the perspective of Morgan Le Fay. I've always been fascinated by Arthurian legend, and as such was interested to see what this new take could bring to the table. The book is I believe the first part of an intended trilogy,
I am a sucker for anything Arthurian and this retelling, focusing on Morgan le Fay, did the trick. It tided me over on a 9.5 hour flight, during which I did not even watch a movie, so invested was I. I rarely read fantasy anymore, except retellings, and I was really pleasantly surprised by this one
Hooked. HOOKED. From the moment this audiobook started I was sold and couldn’t stop listening. The narrator did a fab job and her voice was just so soft, soothing and effective, it made slipping into the audiobook effortless. I love books based around Arthurian legends and having Morgan (Morgana) at Leggi tutto
Morgan le Fay #1 I was dark and made of shards, formed under pressure where light did not reach. I was flint and always had been. And I was also steel, hard, forged in blazes bright and glittering.. Morgan is My Name tells the story of a young girl who was born of the sea, wild in nature, and thought Leggi tutto
