BOOKER PRIZE WINNER – NATIONAL BESTSELLER – A tale of two young scholars researching the secret love affair of two Victorian poets that’s an exhilarating novel of wit and romance, an intellectual mystery, and a triumphant love story. “Gorgeously written … A tour de force.” —The New York Times Book Review
Winner of England’s Booker Prize and a literary sensation, Possession traces the lives of a pair of young academics as they uncover a clandestine relationship between two long-dead Victorian poets. As they unearth their letters, journals, and poems, and track their movements from London to Yorkshire–from spiritualist s饌nces to the fairy-haunted far west of Brittany–what emerges is an extraordinary counterpoint of passions and ideas.
