After meeting at a party in 1939 London, Iris and Geoff spend a night together. After Iris is followed home from his house by a terrifying creature the next morning, she and Geoff discover his family’s link to the supernatural and how it could change the course of World War II. “Nonesuch” is a mix of historical fiction, romantic comedy, fantasy — and has a sequel coming out next year that I can’t wait to read.

“A lavish historical fantasy of a secretary and her lover battling time-traveling fascists on the eve of WWII… Spufford sustains the tension all the way to the miraculous finale. Readers will be enthralled.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

“A stunning Narnia for grown-ups.”—People 

“Radiant…This is a book interested more in people and place than in plot, and Iris—one of the most perceptively written women ever produced by a male novelist—shares main-character status with London itself. Spufford, a vivid stylist, wants the reader to feel and smell and hear what it was like to live in the city during wartime.” —Laura Miller, Slate 

“Equal parts stunning historical fiction and daring fantasy, Nonesuch is a remarkable journey into the imagination of a brilliant writer.” —BookPage, Starred Review
