When mild-mannered and unremarkable academic Roland Mitchell
stumbles upon a letter written by Victorian poet Randolph Ash to a
mysterious woman with whom he seems to be infatuated, he is
determined to uncover the truth. Winner of the 1990 Booker Prize,
Possession defies categorization. Rich in symmetry and symbolism,
brimming over with myth, poetry and fairy tale, Byatt's masterpiece
is part literary detective story, part academic satire and part
historical novel. At its heart, however, is a compelling romance
that draws the reader into the mirrored worlds of two couples, past
and present, and explores the nature of obsession, possession and
love.
