The Game is Byatt s second novel and third book overall, following her critical study Degrees of Freedom: The Early Novels of Iris Murdoch (1965) and her debut novel "The Shadow of the Sun" (1964). THE GAME explores the complex relationship between two sisters, one a novelist, the other a scholar, whose shared childhood imaginative games evolve into rivalries in art, love, and life. Byatt (1936 2020) was a Booker Prize winning novelist, best known for Possession (1990), later adapted into a major film; she published more than a dozen novels and collections of stories during her career. The Game marks her second work of fiction and helped establish the intellectual, self-reflexive style that would become her signature.
