Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
I’ve come to the end of an 800+ page book, only to find myself wishing that there was MORE.
The prose, the world, the characters…everything was SO GOOD. What a world to inhabit.
And the prose. I could talk about the prose all day. Funny, complete (none of these choppy sentences in so much fantasy nowadays), vivid, precise…I loved it all.
Clarke has my allegiance.
If you enjoyed JS&MN, is there anything in the same vein you’d recommend? (I’ve already ordered Piranesi)
Also is the BBC series any good?
“He understood for the first time that the world is not dumb at all, but merely waiting for someone to speak to it in a language it understands.”
