Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

Equally odd and interesting it felt like one of the truest feeling fake histories I've ever read. It feels a little more like a reference book than a novel at times but that's not a bad thing. It's so convincing that you can almost imagine that this world really could have been our own. It's slow and dense and I loved it. It's so unlike anything I've read in this genre and I'm glad I made the effort.
It's rich and rewarding. Definitely worth the read.
