Susanna Clarke
Susanna Clarke is a British author whose Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell spent ten years in the writing and was immediately recognized as a major work of English literature. Its world of English magic in the Napoleonic Wars combines the Gothic, historical adventure, and dark fantasy into a wholly original whole. Piranesi, her second novel, is a Gothic mystery of extraordinary imagination.
