Byatt incorporates multiple types of documents to create a dual timeline of love and secrets. It‘s a very detailed read, and I think at some point I will have to reread this to fully intake the multiple layers. The ending is spellbinding, a perfect conclusion to a story rich in interweaving details. So glad I finally read this! #ByattBuddyRead #192025 #1990. #52BookClub24 #NominatedForTheBookerPrize

Hooked_on_books I feel like a good ending is the marker of a really good writer. Too many books don‘t have a good ending, and I love it when it‘s well done. I‘ve never read her, which I should probably rethink! 3mo
Librarybelle @Hooked_on_books So true…an ending could help or ruin a book! 3mo
CaramelLunacy I came to this one after seeing the movie (Jeremy Northam and Jennifer Ehle were perfect as the Victorian poets). 3mo
Librarybelle @CaramelLunacy I plan to rewatch the movie soon! I saw the movie years ago, and it would be interesting to see it again after reading the book. 3mo
Crazeedi I have had this a long time but have not read! 3mo
