lavatea 's review for:
Possession
by A.S. Byatt
If you're looking for an easy-read, a beach book, this isn't it. The depth Byatt adds and the many layers written in are astounding. Takes a while to get into the book, but once you wade in, you have to swim through until the end. There's just no stopping.
