Possession - A.S. Byatt 1990* * * *


This book was fantastic to read and really held me gripped throughout. The story was original and I loved the tangled stories within the story. The one downside I will say for this book is that some of the letters to and from Christabel and Randolph just dragged on far too long. At one time we have a good ten pages of detailed letters including conversations about insects and various types or rock. My mind started to wander at these times as well as with the poetry, but the actual modern day story really held my attention. I will definately read more of Byatt's work, for she has a beautiful lyrical style to her words that I have rarely seen these days.
