The writing is spare and evocative, while Paris, as a place of hardship, is both raw and strangely intimate. To walk these streets with the protagonis" Read more of this review »

“They took to silence. They touched each other without comment and without progression. A hand on a hand, a clothed arm, resting on an arm. An ankle overlapping an ankle, as they sat on a beach, and not removed. One night they fell asleep, side by side... He slept curled against her back, a dark comma against her pale elegant phrase.”
― A.S. Byatt, Possession
