Books when you’re not watching #1 – Susanna Clarke

Well, I try to keep up with what’s being published in the world, but this one almost slipt past me. Susanna Clarke, author of the amazing Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrel, has her first short story collection, The Ladies of Grace Adieu, due from Bloomsbury in October this year. There’s not much information about the book around, but I’ve read a number of her short stories (several published in Patrick Nielsen Hayden’s fine Starlight anthology series), and I’m confident it should be a lovely book.
