A pair of young scholars research the lives of two Victorian poets, and as this investigative duo uncover their letters, journals, and poems they are able to track the writer's movements from London to Yorkshire and what emerges is an extraordinary counterpoint of passions and ideas. 

An exhilarating novel of wit and romance, Possession is at once an intellectual mystery and a triumphant love story.

"Possession is a novel for every taste: a heartbreaking Victorian love story, a take-no-prisoners comedy of contemporary academic life, and an unputdownable supernatural mystery." -- Washington Post
