    Possession by A.S. Byatt (Jannes)
    Jannes: En annan roman med brev, litteraturvetare, mysterier, nystande i det förflutna, och en massa, massa bibliotek. Lite långsammare tempo än Burman, och utspelar sig i 80-talets England snarare än sekelskiftets Sverige, men värd att kika närmare på om Burmans premiss var vad som fångde ditt intresse från början.… (more)

Burman has in her first novel chosen to describe the life of women in several different times. Furthermore, she manages to get a mystery into it all – disguised as a research project – that actually is very exciting to follow.

The main character – Elisabet Gran – moves physically over large parts of Europe and mentally several hundred years back in time. The author succeeds in this rather well, but every now and then her craving for drama shines through. A detail on that matter that comes to me is the letters written about the disaster of Titanic. It feels like a flirt with the reader, to startle him and make him think “aha! I, too, know this!”. There are more examples like that, and it lowers the impression on the whole.

Though, in conclusion, a good approach, well written, and very educational reading, nicely wrapped.

Burman har med sin debutroman valt att beskriva kvinnors liv i flera olika tidsepoker. Dessutom lyckas hon väva in ett mysterium - maskerat till ett forskningsprojekt - som faktiskt är väldigt spännande att följa.

Huvudpersonen - Elisabet Gran - rör sig fysiskt över stora delar av Europa och mentalt flera hundra år tillbaka i tiden. Författaren klarar detta tämligen väl, men titt som tätt kan något effektsökeri skönjas. En detalj som fallaer mig in är breven som skrivs om Titanics undergång. Det känns mer som en flirt med läsaren, att få densamme att hajja till och tänka "aha! Det där känner jag också till!". Fler sådana exempel finns, tycker jag, och det sänker helhetsintrycket.

Dock, som helhet, ett bra grepp, bra skrivet, och mycket lärorik läsning, snyggt förpackat. ( )
