BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A tale of two young scholars researching the secret love affair of two Victorian poets that's an exhilarating novel of wit and romance, an intellectual mystery, and a triumphant love story. “Gorgeously written … A tour de force.” —The New York Times Book ReviewWinner of England’s Booker Prize and a literary sensation, Possession traces the lives of a pair of young academics as they uncover a clandestine relationship between two long-dead Victorian poets. As they unearth their letters, journals, and poems, and track their movements from London to Yorkshire—from spiritualist séances to the fairy-haunted far west of Brittany—what emerges is an extraordinary counterpoint of passions and ideas.

"I love this series, but most of this book was excruciating. The last 50 pages are why I'm not giving it 1 star. So disappointed."

"I… am just dumbfounded about this Audible Original. It was such a really good listen. But.. the story could’ve had more depth and more story to it. It didn’t feel finished, maybe because I wanted more from it. <br/>The Title makes you think, it’s going to be a black couple haunted house story. I’m all for it. But.. what it turned out to be was even more interesting. But like I said.. unfinished. <br/>The Voice cast did an unbelievably good job at narrating this. <br/>I gave it 3/5 of ⭐️s because it had a weak unfinished ending. And the undetailed way things ended up. Besides these points. I enjoyed this book."
