A lot of people who've read "Jonathan Strange" seem to have had similar "Meh" responses to "The Ladies." I've also met people like myself who read them the other way around and thought "Meh" about "Jonathan Strange." I've yet to read both of them, so we'll see. ;) Tom: I wonder if this is one of those occasions where your impression of the two books depends on the order you’ve read them.

Possibly I'm not all that good with short stories. However, definitely an author to watch - and thanks for your excellent review I think Susannah Clarke did very well with her Jonathan Strange and I took The Ladies of GA out of the library but was a little disappointed.

I think I liked "Antics and Frets" so much because I have a thing for those Elizabeth movies and I especially liked the actress who played Mary, Queen of Scots. :D I'm looking forward to seeing what she writes next as well. Wikipedia says she's working on a kind of sequel to "Jonathan Strange..." I guess that means I have to read the first book... LOL! Really? That’s so funny!

We have opposite opinions: "The Ladies of Grace Adieu" was one of my favourites, and "Antics and Frets" was my least favourite :P But we agree on the book as a whole. I can't wait to see what Susanna Clarke will write next.
