In 19th-century England, two rival magicians emerge to bring practical magic back to a world that has forgotten it. This historical fantasy series explores the return of magic, its impact on society, and the complex relationship between these two powerful men.
The series was adapted into a seven-part miniseries by the BBC, which aired in 2015. It covers the entirety of the novel's storyline.
While there is only one main novel, Susanna Clarke has published a collection of short stories titled "The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories" which are set in the same magical universe and feature some related themes and characters.
The series is notable for its deeply immersive prose, which meticulously mimics 19th-century literary style, and its detailed exploration of the social and political implications of magic returning to a rationalist society.
