## Description

Like A. S. Byatt’s Booker Prize-winning novel, Possession , these two mesmerising novellas are set in the nineteenth century. In Morpho Eugenia , an explorer realises that the behaviour of the people around him is alarmingly similar to that of the insects he studies. In The Conjugal Angel , curious individuals – some fictional, others drawn from history – 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.
