Books by Susanna Clarke

Susanna Clarke is a British author born in Nottingham in 1967. Her debut novel, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, published in 2004 after ten years of writing, became an international bestseller and won the Hugo Award and the World Fantasy Award. Ill health — a condition involving severe fatigue and cognitive disruption — kept her from publishing for sixteen years. Piranesi, published in 2020, was written in part during that period and drew on her experience of isolation and altered cognition. It won the Women's Prize for Fiction in 2021. She lives in Cambridge, England.
