It’s only 511 pages, but “Possession,” by A.S. Byatt. Dueling academics. A mystery from the past. Action that goes backward and foreword in time, from the present (well, 1990) to the 18th century. I really loved this book, and learned a lot by reading it.

Also, Possession by A.S. Byatt is one of my desert island books (my original paperback clocks in at 555pp). British libraries, uni politics, convincingly mimetic Victorian poetry, multiple romances in different eras, and a climactic scene in a graveyard, plus the epilogue. A+
