Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell is a fantasy novel. It is about the quest of two English magicians, Strange and Norrell, to bring magic back to England.
It is a thick novel, about a thousand pages in the mass market paperback edition, but it is very enjoyable. I finished it in a few days as fast as I could.
This being Susanna Clarke’s first book, I look forward to reading more from her.
I recommend it highly.
UPDATE: Razib asks for more. So here is a whole seminar on the book.
Sir,
‘tis such a terse and spare summation! Do you not owe it to your patrons to offer a more meaty exposition?
Yours truly,

Razib: I have linked to an extremely meaty exposition in an update to the post. 🙂
Sir,
And a gentlemen you are! Fare-thee-well and godspeed!
