I have wondered this for a while

What's the point of the subtitle "a novel"?

Reading or re-reading? I would have thought you'd already read it.

I checked on amazon.com for the cover images, and you're right about Possession, and I remembered correctly for The Fledgling.

I think my failure to remember for Possession shows that for me both subtitles serve the same purpose.

Re-reading, I've read it frequently before.
