Episode Description

I can't sufficiently sum up what this book accomplishes, but sufficeth to say that Dame Antonia Byatt won the Booker prize (England's most prestigious award for literature) because her book is masterfull in its telling. It is at once a romance and a mystery, modern and victorian, and a book that one can read again and again just for the shear enjoyment of her ingenious symbolism, color usage, and for the pleasure of the discovery of some dead poets that she has seemingly brought to life. They seem to me as real as poets that actually lived. Did I mention it's a romance? A pair of modern scholars discover a hidden affair  between two Victorian poets. And as the reader, you will fall in love too. I hope you enjoy our book club chat, and stay for the end as we reference Dame Antonia's essay in which she discusses her choices in writing Possession.
