Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell

Susanna Clarke’s brilliant first novel is an utterly compelling epic tale of nineteenth-century England and the two very different magicians who, as teacher and pupil and then as rivals, emerge to change its history.

This book is like a Harry Potter for adults. It was really enjoyable. It's the adventure of these two wizards in the Regency period - and they even help fight the Napoleonic Wars. It's written like it's a real story - with footnotes and everything. The book is long, but as soon I got into it I couldn't put it down.
