Possession
A. S. Byatt
Oh, A S Byatt. #Possession was the novel that made me want to be a writer, to live in writing. And then her other work showed the possibilities of tales that inhabited mind, soul, heart, earth. What a loss.

This Plague of Souls
Mike McCormack
McCormack's language is evocative, perfectly suited to the noirish atmosphere he builds throughout the book... This is a strange novel, sinister yet hopeful, a descent into darkness that somehow manages to rise into a ringing light.
