summary

In "Piranesi", Susanna Clarke transports readers to a vast, mysterious House where time and space are distorted, and reality is not quite what it seems. The House is home to Piranesi as well as thousands of statues, labyrinths of hallways, staircases that lead to nowhere, and an ocean. He spends his days exploring the endless wonders and making detailed notes in his journal, while occasionally meeting with the Other, his only companion. But one day, Piranesi starts to notice chalk messages appearing throughout the House, and begins to wonder if he is truly alone. As he delves deeper into the secrets of the House, he must confront a truth that threatens to shatter his entire world. This stunning novel from the author of "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell" is a must-read for anyone seeking a mesmerizing and otherworldly tale.
