VINTAGE QUARTERBOUND CLASSICS - Bound to be beautiful

A beautiful hardback edition of the Booker Prize-winning novel. A romance, a literary quest, a modern classic.

A pair of young scholars investigate the lives of two Victorian poets. Following a trail of letters, journals and poems they uncover a web of passion, deceit and tragedy, and their quest becomes a battle against time. Possession is an exhilarating novel of wit and romance, at once a literary detective novel and a triumphant love story.

Exhilarating genius - Guardian

Possession is eloquent about the intense pleasures of reading. And, with sumptuous artistry, it provides a feast of them - Sunday Times
