Winner of England's Booker Prize and a literary sensation Possession is an exhilarating novel of wit and romance, at once an intellectual mystery and a triumphant love story. As a pair of young scholars research the lives of two Victorian poets, they uncover their letters, journals, and poems, and track their movements from London to Yorkshire -- from spiritualist sénces to the fairy-haunted far west of Brittany. What emerges is an extraordinary counterpoint of passion and ideas.

I have been utterly misled by this book's description. I find it boring and irrelevant beyond description. I can’t bear to read on, waiting for it to unfold its charm, it is too dull, like its characters‘ lives. Maybe it reminds me too much of my own university days and the tedious and unconnected work I had to do for my own thesis. Other people might appreciate this book though, it is well written, I can’t deny that, and the narrator does a very good job, trying to bring it to life, but it is not for me. Therefore I will most probably return it.

An extraordinary novel - I guess
