Francis Spufford's historical fantasy novel, ‘Nonesuch’, was found to be surprisingly enjoyable by readers. The novel is set during the London Blitz of World War II and combines historical fiction with time travel fantasy. It tells the story of Iris Hawkins, a young woman working as a clerk at a London financial firm who is often influenced by the era's mores. Despite some criticism about the supernatural action sequences and some judgmental, Spuffords managed to bring some unexpected twists and a formidable villainess to life. The main narrative ends neatly and demands a sequel.
