There was a thing on NPR this morning with a British woman who's written a book, it seemed, about a magician who was helping the British army in the 1800's. It's fantasy. Has anyone heard of such a book. I was late catching the program and didn't hear the name and thought I might check it out.

Well, I was about to Xpost, too...
It sounded interesting to me, based on the NYT Magazine articles of several weeks ago, and I'm not much of a fantasy reader.

It's been well-promoted. Two feature articles in the New York Times. Neil Gaiman has endorsed it. And so on.
