England's magicians and magic are a lost art. It falls to Mr Norrell and Jonathan Strange to bring magic back to England. Very good
fun and inventive, goated, can use it to club one of your enemies over the head with if you please
slow-paced
In recovering from Piranesi, I just HAD to read Susanne Clarke's debut novel Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell .! Starting out with the question of "What happened to (practical) English magic?" the novel takes us to a myriad of lives, mythical and otherwise, with some of the most vibrant and stupendous character-portrait I've ever read.
The book is written with the witty and snarky 19th-century style humor, featuring reflections on (magical) scholarships with the contrast between "rational" Mr Norrell and "practical" Jonathan Strange.
Four star read because I keep getting whiplash with the perspective change even though it was engaging. One moment you're engrossed in the eerie "gentleman with thistle-down hair"plotline, the next Jonathan Strange is going to war. I don't care! Fuck British colonialism!
