The Really Popular Book Club: Possession by A.S. Byatt
Tue 23 August 2022
The Really Popular Book Club is the reading group hosted by Cambridge University Libraries. Everyone is invited to join us and our special guests to discuss a really popular book, one that we all know and perhaps or perhaps not love.
Following the opening of the Darwin in Conversation exhibition we are taking letters as the theme of August's book club. A.S. Byatt's Possession follows the path of academics as they uncover the passionate affair of two Victorian poets. Possession is a novel of love, longing, the desire to own, and literary detective fiction. At its centre Byatt puts historic correspondence, and its ability to beguile as we glimpse into our literary ancestors’ innermost feelings.
