Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke
5.0
READ IN ENGLISH
I bought this book during sale for only €2,99 for a story over 1000 pages long. I didn't really know what to expect from it, since I never heard of the book before actually. But I wanted to give it a try anyway and I was really pleased.
I enjoyed reading it. It tells a lot, a whole 'parallel' world is created in which the headlines of history are still there (at least at the beginning) and magic is something that is accepted really easily (though with some skepticism; but who would you blame for that). It also is a story about England in that time (first half of 19th century) and different class-layers. And then there is the magic, it was special and I liked it and liked to read about it. I really hope there will be a second volume of it, for there are still a lot of questions left!
