Winner of England's Booker Prize and a literary sensation Possession is an exhilarating novel of wit and romance, at once an intellectual mystery and a triumphant love story. As a pair of young scholars research the lives of two Victorian poets, they uncover their letters, journals, and poems, and track their movements from London to Yorkshire -- from spiritualist sénces to the fairy-haunted far west of Brittany. What emerges is an extraordinary counterpoint of passion and ideas.

I loved this narrator, and the book. I will be reading this many times in my life - there is just so much there! Despite going slowly and paying attention, I’m sure I missed stuff. The poetry and correspondence are especially beautiful, and if you’re on the fence about reading this: DO IT. 😊
