Possession - AS Byatt

Read this whilst visiting my sister Pauline in USA. Slow reading, very densely packed literary style and not quite a light holiday read, but great characterisation and a moving story. A modern love story intertwining with a historical one. I found myself relating to Roland and Maud's solitude. Maud's sensitivity to her charismatic ex who crowded her touched a chord in me. Exquisite is a good word one reviewer used.
