Hello from my Irish vacation! Never had any idea of what this book was about, but now I really want to read it! Thanks for putting it in my path! Enjoy your trip!!
Thanks, Kate! I hope you’re having a terrific time in Ireland!! We’re back from Italy, and Possession was a great book for the trip. I hope you read it and enjoy it!!
This is my absolute favourite novel of the 20th century! I adore the story, the language, and the simultaneous immersion into Victorian literary life. It has massively inspired me for thirty years, and now that I am an author of Victorian publishing history, it seems like it might have warped my brain!
Found my way to your substack by way of another substack (twobossydames). This was the first review I read and I'm HOOKED! The movie wasn't great, but the casting of Jeremy Northam and Jennifer Ehle as Ash and Maud was perfect. Their parts are worth watching.
Thanks, Jennifer! I'm glad you found us through Two Bossy Dames. I'm glad to hear that there are redeeming parts to the movie! I still have it on my list to watch. Hope you find some other reviews and books to enjoy!

Possession is one of my favorite books of all time! I loved reliving it through this newsletter!
Thanks, Sara! I'm glad you enjoyed the review!
Totally agree!! Now I feel that I need to reread it myself!
Thanks, Eve! Hope you enjoy the reread!
A book I’ve loved and always remembered—enjoyed your review—forgot what a feat of writing this novel is with all the created poetry and letters.
Thanks, Brian! Glad you enjoyed the book and the review!
Possession--yes! One of my top 10.
Reading Trust now, as you know, so I'm looking forward to reading your review when I finish.
Thanks, Kathy! Looking forward to your thoughts about Trust.

Thanks, Sarah! What a great book to have one's brain warped by! I'm so glad I found it when and where I did. Good luck with your forthcoming book!

Ugh, clearly I meant Christabel! (I'm so embarrassed.)
