Angels & Insects: Two Novellas by A.S. Byatt
4.0
Structurally not as tight as some of her other writing, though rich and multi-layered as always.
Morpho Eugenia: The entomology is so delightfully Victorian and the metaphor/mythology is so saucy that one can easily forgive the meandering plot and text-book ending.
The Conjugial Angel: Swedenborg, seances, theology and the Tennysons. What could be more Victorian? Only Byatt can craft such engaging prose from and of the poetry of those times. This novella is a study of close reading and reading between the lines.
