This book by Susanna Clarke is written about the early 1800's, where there is a magician called Mr. Gilbert Norrell, who is supposed to be the last strong magician for 100 years. He uses this magic agains Napoleon's French forces in the war to bring back the dead and terrify the French army. However, another magician emerges, a novice, Jonathan Strange. He is the complete opposite of Norrell, and on the French side of the army, and the two magicians break into a fight.
This book has a nice storyline to it, although I wouldn't recommend anyone our age read it because it is very long and I found myself getting distracted easily. On the other hand, it has good writing structure and style, and I think for older audiences it might be very good.
