About this listen
Bloomsbury presents Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke, read by Richard Armitage with Neil Gaiman and an introduction by V E Schwab.
The 20th anniversary edition of the fantasy classic.
‘The book I wish I'd written’ R F Kuang
‘Susanna Clarke writes with an intelligence and beauty that seems at times miraculous’ Katherine Rundell
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

Awesome adventure into the world of Magic
It was an epic journey full of magic and mystery. Loved all the footnotes and the stories within a story. Very intricate and detailed. Yes, it was long but enjoyably so !

Pointlessly long
While Suzanne Clarke world building is fantastic the actual story was arduous and hard to stick with. It felt like it took so long to get to the point and then it was just over with very little resolve.
