"Nonesuch's fantastical elements will either thrill or irritate you. #FrancisSpufford is a gifted novelist: he can absolutely handle a gear shift. The question is whether you find yourself still down for the ride after 500 pages."

“A genre-blending 500-page chunker” – Nonesuch by Francis Spufford
“There is a grandeur in Spufford’s ambition, but with no quick resolution at the end, merely “to be continued”, it’s whether Spufford has done enough to entice the reader to follow him. If fa…

Deeply annoyed with #francisspufford for just casually breaking my heart like that. Anyhow, you should read #Nonesuch, out in Canada in March. A fabulous, incredibly well-researched romp of a fantasy novel. Won't leave you quietly sobbing on a Friday evening. Whyever would you think that? #booksky

Just bought the new #FrancisSpufford novel 'Nonesuch'. On past form, this should be great. He's been hitting it to the boundary with his previous fiction and non-fiction.

Today's unexpected surprise. I'd forgotten that
#ElizabethHand's 'A Haunting on the Hill' was released today in the UK. Need to re-read Jackson's original first, though. The new #FrancisSpufford, too.
