Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A magnificent panoramic novel about a Victorian children's novelist, her extended family and their hopes, dreams and divisions at the dawning of a new age. This is set to be A.S. Byatt's biggest novel since "Possession", which has sold over a million copies worldwide.

Publisher's description:

Olive Wellwood is a famous writer. For each of them she writes a separate private book, bound in different colours and placed on a shelf. In their house near Romney Marsh they play in a story-book world - but their lives, and those of their cousins, children of a city stockbroker, are already inscribed with mystery.
