Ronny Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I just saw this, she has a new book, a short story collection called The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories ( http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1596912510/ref=nosim/priceclash-20 ) and since I know there's a few here that really liked Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell I thought they may want to have a look.

princessponti Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 This book is gorgeous!! I bought it as I picked it up in the shop and couldn't put it down! The cover is all fabricy and has gorgeous pink flowers upon it - so appealing to a big girly! I have read the beginning third of Jonathan Strange and was interrupted by circumstances, never to pick it up again (even though I had really enjoyed what I read). I thought that this collection of short stories would really give me a way into Susanna Clarkes writing (given that I could dip in and out). I started to read it but to me (having not finished Jonathan Strange) I felt like the stories may give away too much about what happened in her first book as it seems the stories are set in the same universe, and so I had to stop Saying that though, it is a beautiful collection - PLUS very excitingly - there is a short story in there somewhere set in the village of Wall, from Neil Gaimans 'Stardust', my all time favourite book - if anyone reads it, please let me know if you think it may ruin Jonathan Strange for me!! Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anika Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Is 'The Ladies of Grace Adieu' a sequel to 'Jonathon Strange'? I am one third of the way through 'Jonathon' and it will be a while before I'm done. A massive book, for sure! I like it so far, though.
