In the midst of the Napoleonic Wars in 1806, most people believe magic to have long since disappeared from England - until the reclusive Mr Norrell reveals his powers.
This is a massive, cozy blanket of a book. Clarke builds a version of 19th-century England where magic returns, and she uses every minute of the runtime to flesh out the history, politics, and footnotes of this world. It is a slow, polite, and incredibly detailed listen. If you want to escape into a different reality for a full month, this is your ticket.
