This rocked. The writing is engrossing and the imagery is so neat. The house made me think of a cross between Versailles and a mausoleum.

I'm a sucker for unreliable narrators and stories that reveal themselves in pieces, so this was a really satisfying little puzzle. I'll definitely be picking up Susanna Clarke's debut now that I've seen what her brain can do.

Recommended for everyone as a fun treat but especially if you enjoy genre-bending head scratchers.
