This is The Book I will gladly fight people over if they say it’s not incredible

Reading this for the first time (not this read-through, I first read it a few years ago) genuinely changed my brain chemistry. I have Never Been the same.

Just in terms of sheer writing, Susanna Clarke is by far and away my favourite author
