"Winner of England's Booker Prize and an enduring literary success, Possession is an exhilerating novel of wit and romance, at o9nce 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 counterpart of passions and ideals."
