By A. S. Byatt
This book wasn't easy to read, but it was amazing. It's amazing to me how a person can write in such a diverse way, from different points of views, about different people and different eras, and bring it all together so nicely. One of the reasons it was a slow read for me were the poems. I find poems hard to read, maybe because I'm not used to it. They require a different mindset. At first I thought she wrote about actual poets, but then found out these are fictional poets, writing in their own distinct styles. Mind blown. Another great book from a great writer. [554 pp.]
