Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
Your rating
Clarke writes two magicians bringing practical magic back to England during the Napoleonic Wars. This is a sprawling, footnoted, beautifully weird novel that reads like a historical epic disguised as a fantasy. The characters are human and flawed, the worldbuilding is meticulous, and the ending is earned.
