no movie could do it justice. maybe a pride-and-prejudice-style miniseries, but i’m still not sure. i don’t want the characters in my head replaced by actors. and what of the footnotes!?
i haven’t read grace adieu in a while, but the one i remember best was about the lady with the tapestry. so good.

Good for you for taking a chance, even when you dislike the genre.

Strange & Norrell is a magnificent piece of work. I was almost sorry to hear that it is being made into a full-length feature film.

Could a movie possible do justice to Clarke’s writing?

OMG — how did I not know that Susanna Clarke had written something new? I loved Norrell & Strange, too (and for the very reasons you mention). I’ll definitely check this collection out.

Ha ha, and speaking of loathing a genre, I’ve been persuaded to read a graphic novel. Or should I say, a graphic “novel”? We’ll see.
