Possession: A Romance
by A.S. Byatt
Skim the poetry if you must (I did) but force yourself to get to the
end of this beautiful book. A book about two poetry scholars who come
to know each other while researching two poets in the previous century.
It's a slow, meticulous read -- A. S. Byatt is nothing if not a literary
writer -- but the payoff at the end is worth it.
