Vintage Love: Middlemarch & Possession

"Vintage Love" is a limited edition gift pack which consists of beautifully designed separate volumes of "Middlemarch" by George Eliot and A S Byatt's highly acclaimed novel "Possession." "Vintage Love" is just one of ten "Vintage Classic Twins" to collect.

Each twin consists of two books: a specially designed limited edition of one modern classic title and one established classic work.

The books in each pair have been carefully selected to provide a thought-provoking combination. "Middlemarch": Dorothea as a bright, beautiful and rebellious who has married the wrong man.

Lydgate is the ambitious new doctor in town and has married the wrong woman.

Both of them long to make a positive difference in the world.

But their stories do not proceed as expected and both they, and the other inhabitants of Middlemarch, must struggle to reconcile themselves to their fates and find their places in the world. "Possession": Possession is an exhilarating novel of wit and romance, both a literary detective novel and a triumphant love story.

It is the tale of a pair of young scholars investigating the lives of two Victorian poets. Following a trail of letters, journals and poems they uncover a web of passion, deceit and tragedy, and their quest becomes a battle against time.
