Possession is the modern-day story of an academic who finds some love letters in a poetry volume in the British Library. He steals the letters, and finds they throw light on the life of a Victorian poet. As this story unravels, alongside it we find the academic getting involved-but-not-involved with another acadmeic.
The book deals with possession in its several forms, and is well worth reading (except for the pastiche Victorian poetry, most of which Caroline ended up skipping).
