'The book I wish I'd written' R F Kuang
'Susanna Clarke writes with an intelligence and beauty that seems at times miraculous' Katherine Rundell
'A modern masterpiece' Spectator
1806. England is beleaguered by the long war, and centuries have passed since magicians faded from view. But one remains: the reclusive Mr Norrell. Proceeding to London, he raises a woman from the dead and summons an army of ghostly ships to terrify the French.
Yet the cautious Norrell is challenged by the emergence of another magician. Young, handsome and daring, Jonathan Strange is his very antithesis. So begins a dangerous battle between these two great men – which overwhelms that between England and France. And soon their own secret dabblings with the dark arts are going to cause more trouble than they can imagine...
'Like Hilary Mantel, Clarke has made the very notion of genre seem quaint' Guardian
