Byatt has written a very evocative story. I enjoyed reading Dame Byatt's "Possession." Stone Woman intrigued me due to its Iceland connection. It concerns a woman who develops a mystifying and enigmatic condition, in which her body slowly turns to stone. Not just any stone, but all kinds and colors. Her reaction to this is beautifully told, as is the relationship that she develops with an Icelandic stonecutter. Unusual and thought-provoking.
