Angels & Insects: Two Novellas
In these two "astonishing" novellas (The New Yorker), the Booker Prize-winning author of Possession returns to the landscape of Victorian England, where science and spiritualism are popular manias, and domestic decorum coexists with brutality and perversion.

It's two novellas. The first one about a man who studies insects. It's probably 3 stars. Pretty well-written except it tries to surprise the reader with something you can see a mile away. The characters are all a bit flat.
The second novella is a 1 or 2 star jumble. I just kept reading it to say I finished it.
