Possession: A Romance

Well... it was slightly confusing and a bit boring...

I think it's Roland's story, but he isn't the main character. Everyone else feels to be more “main” than he is. We have his girlfriend, his mentor, his colleague, his research subject, the colleague's research subject, and a bunch of other people connected through the life of his research subject.
All these lives are being looked at through narration, letters, diaries, poems, articles, etc. There is a lot that could have been cut off. The poems would have been more impressive had Antonia not written them. Of course, most of it was there to make things more clear, to express things and ideas and emotions that couldn't have been expressed otherwise, but I question if they needed to be expressed at all, or if there really wouldn't have been another way of expressing them, better - or if other things would have been better expressed.
It's very poetic and very touching. I was crying in the end. I'm so sorry the little girl forgot.
Other than that, the ending was pretty bland.
I liked it, but I don't think I would have missed anything if I had never read it.
