At the dawn of the nineteenth century, two very different magicians emerge to change England's history. In the year 1806, with the Napoleonic Wars raging on land and sea, most people believe magic to be long dead in England-until the reclusive Mr Norrell reveals his powers, and becomes a celebrity overnight.

Soon, another practicing magician comes forth: the young, handsome, and daring Jonathan Strange. He becomes Norrell's student, and they join forces in the war against France. But Strange is increasingly drawn to the wildest, most perilous forms of magic, straining his partnership with Norrell, and putting at risk everything else he holds dear.

Strange and fabulous

It took me a long time to get into this book. I tried to read it without success. Then I listened to the preview didn’t like it. But eventually I listened to it. Richard Armitrige’s narration pulled me into this book. He is absolutely amazing. The story is very convaluted but it is really absorbing.

character voicea

the variety of settings that the author chose and stunning descriptions and word choices. Special historically as well.

Enchanting

This is an enchanting book. At once mysterious and commonplace, cheerful and sad. Completely lovely. The narration is absolutely stunning! If you are a fan of books about magic and magicians (and can tolerate a book written in the Regency style) look no further!

Wonderful!

What fun! Richard Armitage’s narration is superb as he gives voice to a variety of colorful characters with different accents. Susanna Clarke’s story of two English magicians is utterly compelling and fun. Yes, even the footnotes. Terrific listen.

It Doesn't Get Any Better!

I didn't think this book could be any better than it is. And then I heard Richard Armitage's reading and felt the magic come alive! This may be my all-time favourite book, and hearing it narrated so beautifully and articulately has made me love it even more!
