A.S. Byatt
Possession
Chatto & Windus
A.S. Byatt told the audience at the prize-giving dinner at the Guildhall that she planned to spend her prize money on building a swimming pool at her house in Provence. Edwina Currie later praised Possession saying ‘It was clever and beautifully written but also entertaining and a compulsive read. I wish I could write like that!’
