Possession

De: A.S. Byatt

Narrado por: Virginia Leishman

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.

This book is incredible!

I loved this narrator, and the book. I will be reading this many times in my life - there is just so much there! Despite going slowly and paying attention, I’m sure I missed stuff. The poetry and correspondence are especially beautiful, and if you’re on the fence about reading this: DO IT. 😊

Well written, wonderfully descriptive and moving.

this audio book is a well written and moving story of entertwining lives, passion and so often phrases that I wish I could have written down to remember. made me want to buy the book and read it myself

Very impressive, highly recommend

I highly recommend this book. It is genuinely enjoyable to read. It easily has become one of my favorite books I have every read. It is a heart wrenchingly beautiful tale. I have so much respect for the author for creating fictitious poets full of fictitious poetry and stories, whilst combining it with real history and poets, what she has created is a very impressive. It is easy to for anyone to understand with basic knowledge of Romantic poetry, and exciting to uncover the mysteries as you read, it will keep you on the edge of your seat.I encourage everyone to read this book.

Was expecting Outlander-esqe. This is not so.

Struggled to finish the book. very boring. I was expecting something similar to Outlander.

Mesmerizing!

I loved how the story wove back and forth in time! I loved how the poetry was beautiful, never too much nor too short. A satisfying read, especially for a reader of poetry and lover of intellect., and a ripping good yarn to boot!
