Like all great novels, it works on many different levels, and if you don't want to delve into the deeper significance of the text you can simply enjoy the story and the wonderful prose. The novel itself has acquired a reputation as a 'difficult' read, but don't let that put you off. This edition of Possession is therefore similar in size and appearance to an airport lounge blockbuster. Presumably in an attempt to make these literary prize-winners more accessible, Vintage has published the series in mass market format. A brilliant read, sadly let down by the cheap and pulpy quality of this edition.Ī S Byatt won the Booker Prize for Possession in 1990 and this new edition of the novel is part of a celebration of Booker winners produced by Vintage Books. Summary: A multi-layered Booker-prizewinning novel about the nature of love and 'possession'.
