About this book

From the Booker Prize-winning author of Possession comes a wonderfully erudite novel in which enlightenment and sexuality, Elizabethan drama and contemporary comedy, intersect richly and unpredictably. "Large, complex, ambitious, humming with energy and ideas ... a remarkable achievement." —Iris Murdoch
