So I made a post a few weeks about this novel, "Possession: A Romance" by A.S Byatt. I mentioned that I was starting it and wondering if peeps had any opinions. Alas, no one replied. Well, I finished it and I must say, it is one of the best reading experiences I've had in a while! The poetry that's in the novel is so good and could easily be put in a collection of Robert Browning, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Emily Dickinson, and Christina Rossetti! The prose is strong, blending dense metaphors with a poetic nature. Once again, I ask, if anyone has read this book, or any other works by A.S Byatt, and whether they enjoyed "Possession: A Romance" or any of her other novels. Even criticisms or annoyances are welcomed!
