Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke
This one was marvellous!! Especially for a History/English double major. A thoroughly plotted, detailed novel sent in an England where magic never ceased to exist, with footnotes referencing books that "were" published in this alternate present. I ordered this one through a bookclub based on a review in Entertainment Weekly. It did not disappoint; although sadly, no one I know has been interested in reading it. The length and subject matter seem daunting, I suppose.
