• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In The Conjugal Angel, curious individuals â some fictional, others drawn from history â gather to connect with the spirit world. Throughout both, Byatt examines the eccentricities of the Victorian era, weaving fact and fiction, reality and romance, science and faith into a sumptuous, magical tapestry.

Rezensionen

"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
