I really really loved this book. It has elements I gravitate towards - fantasy, mystery. Labyrinths! It also has a wonderful and truly inspiring main character. Add to that Susanna Clarke's beautiful, poetic, image dense writing. And a sly sense of both humor and horror. There is also an amazing audio version read by Chiwetel Ejiofor.
