Possession

A brilliant novel of the exhilarating power of ideas and love, Possession is a story of two young scholars researching the lives of Victorian poets Marian Ashby and Randolph Henry Ash. As they uncover letters, journals, and poems, and track their movements from London to Yorkshire—from spiritualist séances to the fairy-haunted far west of Brittany—what emerges is an extraordinary counterpoint of passions and ideas.
