astralvoyages 's review for:
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
by Susanna Clarke
A real tome of a novel. With great pacing, it often reads like an anthology of short stories set in this richly detailed and researched part of history. I loved all the footnotes and sense of discovery that one has while reading it, and the depictions of magic. It shares some of its themes with Umberto Eco's The Name of The Rose about the nature of knowledge, which it handles wonderfully.
All in all, it is simply enchanting.
