Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell

I am reading Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, Susanna Clarke’s 2004 allegorical novel about theoretical magicians overcoming their pride, fear, and arrogance to become practical magicians in service to mankind. This book entertainingly reminds me to actively show my faith by my works.
