A review by willowsfair
The Biographer's Tale by A.S. Byatt

5.0

A complex read about the journeys one disillusioned academic must take that lead to unexpected discoveries about himself and things he thought he knew. As always, Byatt never disappoints; her own diligently investigated topical research is woven into the backstory with a fine hand, and her ability to make odd characters engaging with a delightful resonance left me smiling happily at the end of this book.
