Posession by A. S. Byatt
A Romance
Two contemporary academics discover hidden letters between a pair of Victorian poets and embark on a literary quest through archives, artifacts, and landscapes to uncover a secret love affair long buried by time. As they piece together the past, their own guarded lives begin to mirror the passions they uncover, prompting reflections on desire, scholarship, and the ethics of possession—of art, of history, and of one another. The narrative intertwines mystery and romance to explore how interpretation can both reveal and reshape truth.
