by Susanna Clarke (2004).
A delightful and long (really long) novel about the Restoration of English Magic. It's been described as Tolkien meets Jane Austen, and that's pretty accurate, except Clarke is vastly more interesting than Tolkien. Indeed, few other authors could make 1000-plus pages of story consistently compelling. I didn't want to finish this book and leave this world, in the end.
(I'll just have to reread The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories for my English Magic fix.)
