"Bliss & Blunder" is a contemporary reimagining of Arthurian legend, set in modern-day Britain. The narrative centers on Gwen, who, after two decades of marriage to Arthur—the founder of a leading tech company—finds herself entangled in a web of secrets, societal expectations, and personal desires. As the town of Abury prepares to celebrate Arthur's fortieth birthday, Gwen's former best friend, Morgan, returns with intentions of unveiling long-buried truths. The novel delves into themes of power, friendship, betrayal, and the intersection of myth with modernity. Reviews Eva Dolan, author of "This Is How It Ends," describes the novel as "exquisitely written and structurally bold... a deeply impressive novel." Roisin Kiberd, author of "The Disconnect," praises it as "epic, sprawling yet intricate... an astute critique of our technological era, a fitting homage to Arthurian myth, and a moving, highly original story in its own right." The Guardian highlights Gosling's prose as "ironic, honest and humorous in a postmodern collage of myth and modernity."
