Recensione:
"Intelligent, ingenious and humane... Possession bids fair to be looked back upon as one of the most memorable novels of the 1990s" (Times Literary Supplement)
"As always, Byatt wields beautiful prose, and the mix of prose and poetry gives the book a sensuality as mysterious as anything in the plot" (Elizabeth Kostova)
"A massive, complex story about a literary mystery which turns into an emotional journey of self-discovery... The novel is a triumphant success on every level - as a critique of Victorian poetry, an unbearably moving love story and a satire on the modern 'biography industry'... Possession will be the sensation of the year" (Cosmopolitan)
"On academic rivalry and obsession, Byatt is delicious. On the nature of possession - the lover by the beloved, the biography by his subject - she is profound... She is ripening into our best novelist" (Evening Standard)
