Book Review: Possession

(Bought at the Strand for $10) A.S. Byatt's dense 550-page novel was heavy going at times. I had reread several passages, especially the thick Victorian poetry. But the story was involving and complex. Two modern scholars find the heretofore unknown letters of a pair of Victorian poets and fall in love themselves. A mystery and a romance. Yet another of the 100 books I'm supposed to read before I die according to the BBC.
