1806. England is beleaguered by the long war, and centuries have passed since magicians faded from view. But one remains: the reclusive Mr Norrell. Proceeding to London, he raises a woman from the dead and summons an army of ghostly ships to terrify the French.
Yet the cautious Norrell is challenged by the emergence of another magician. Young, handsome and daring, Jonathan Strange is his very antithesis. So begins a dangerous battle between these two great men – which overwhelms that between England and France. And soon their own secret dabblings with the dark arts are going to cause more trouble than they can imagine…
''Like Hilary Mantel, Clarke has made the very notion of genre seem quaint'' Guardian

Välskriven bok, men med en långsam beskrivande berättarstil som kanske inte faller alla i smaken. Innehåller också ett flertal fotnoter (med hänvisning till slutet av kapitlet) som jag jag kanske hade uppfattat som charmiga i en fysisk bok, men som i e-bok-format fick mig att tappa rytmen fram till att jag slutligen bestämde mig för att ignorera dem (åtminstone tills att jag nått slutet av kapitlet). Trots det underhållande läsning med flera karaktärer som jag onekligen skulle saknat lite om jag inte kastat mig huvudstupa in i nästa bok i att-läsa-högen.
