The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley

I thought this sounded cool because it is the story of King Arthur told from the women's perspective. It turned out to be a huge bore and took me weeks to get through because I could only read a few pages an evening before falling asleep. I did eventually get engaged enough to finish it but would not recommend that anyone else read it. Big gripe: The main character was a midwife on Avalon but when it came time to have her own child was all of a sudden ignorant of childbirth. She was so scarred by this experience she gave up her child. It had a major impact on the story but made no sense.
