Angels & Insects: Two Novellas
In these breathtaking novellas, A.S. Byatt returns to the territory she explored in <i>Possession</i>: the landscape of Victorian England, where science and spiritualism are both popular manias, and domestic decorum coexists with brutality and perversion. <b>Angels and Insects</b> is "delicate and confidently ironic.... Byatt perfectly blends laughter and sympathy [with] extraordinary sensuality" (<i>San Francisco Examiner</i>).
