In North America, the author is listed as "A.S. Byatt".

'Possession' is one of my least favourite books - ever.
I can't resist any opportunity to express my loathing of it - sorry.
I always think of it as similar to John Fowles' 'The French Lieutenant's Woman'; which I thought a much better read.
I'd also highly recommend Alasdair Gray's 'Poor Things' - a brilliant variation on the Frankenstein story.
