Francis Spufford’s “spellbinding” Nonesuch tops the list for best reviewed book this month.
With seven raves and five positive reviews, the fantasy novel, which was released Feb. 26, is gaining traction with fans and critics alike.
Set in London in the summer of 1939, the story unfolds through Iris Hawkins. Following a chance encounter with tech wizard Geoff, Iris’ world is turned upside down, sending her spiraling into a “nightmare of otherworldly pursuit” and on a mission to stop a woman from altering the course of history. Nazis, time travel, dark magic, romance: It’s all here.
“Both a thrilling page-turner and a profound exploration of ambition, love, and the fight against tyranny, Nonesuch is a story that is as enchanting as it is urgent. Packed with twists, tension, and wonder, it is a triumph of storytelling,” its description reads.
Reviews for Nonesuch
“A formidable achievement, a popcorny delight of a novel -- and those who agree will be pleased by an ending that hints we’ve plenty more to come from Spufford’s fantasy multiverse.” -- The Guardian
“[Francis Spufford is] one of our most powerful writers of wayward historical fiction.” -- The Washington Post
“Equal parts stunning historical fiction and daring fantasy, Nonesuch is a look at a London that never was through the eyes of a remarkable woman.” -- Bookpage
“All this is fun. The novel does what few time-travel fantasies do: It laughs about the pleasure that can be had once we grant ourselves the power to change history. At the same time, however, it asks questions, as all time-travel novels do, about who gets to tinker with time, and who lives at its mercy.” -- The New York Times
An award-winning English writer, Spufford began his career with nonfiction before turning to novels with Red Plenty in 2012. Today his arsenal includes Golden Hill, Light Perpetual, and Cahokia Jazz, all of which received major award recognitions.
