Winner of England's Booker Prize and the literary sensation of the year, POSSESSION is an exhilarating novel of wit and romance, at once an intellectual mystery and a triumphant love story. It is the tale of a pair of young scholars researching the lives of two Victorian poets. As they uncover their letters, journals and poems, and track their movements from London to Yorkshire -- from spiritualist seances to the fairy-haunted far west of Brittany -- what emerges is an extraordinary counterpoint of passions and ideas.
This is, bluntly, a perfect book. Everything about it rings true: the academic treasure hunt, the world of contemporary scholarship, the world and the writing of Randolph Ash and Christabel LaMotte -- it's just a pleasure to read. What more can I say?
