Synopsis

Book by Byatt AS

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Morpho Eugenia and The Conjugial Angel are two fascinating novellas and like A. S. Byatt's Booker Prize-winning novel, POSSESSION, they are set in the mid-nineteenth century, weaving fact and fiction, reality and romance.

'Her plot is as compelling as that of a classical detective story, but it is the quality of the writing - its use and unity of metaphor, its sensuous language, its wit and intellectual playfulness - which renders it remarkable' Amanda Craig, Literary Review

'A. S. Byatt is one of our finest living novelists, who manages to tease and to satisfy both the intellect and the imagination ... I am already a convinced admirer of the works of A. S. Byatt. ANGELS & INSECTS should win over many more enthusiasts' Caroline Moore, Daily Telegraph

'Victorian and fun ... marvellous and maddening ... a display and a delight' Nicci Gerrard, Observer

'Her best work to date' Times Literary Supplement
