Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell Boxed Three Volume Collector's Edition (Paperback, 2005, Bloomsbury USA) 5 stars

Published in 2004, it is an alternative history set in 19th-century England around the time …

He hardly ever spoke of magic, and when he did it was like a history lesson and no one could bear to listen to him.

It is time. I read Piranesi last year (2021) and was completely transported. I knew I wanted to pick up Norrell&Strange but the size is daunting and I want to give it proper attention. Hopefully I will have good reading time in the next couple weeks. Wish me luck!

(Also I sadly don't have a physical copy of this bad boy, I have a trusty epub instead!)
