Description
In this mesmerizing novel, Susanna Clarke crafts an intoxicating world within the labyrinthine halls of Piranesi's house. An ocean is imprisoned within its rooms, and waves thunder up staircases in an instant. Yet Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the tides as well as the intricate pattern of the labyrinth itself. As Piranesi explores his surroundings, a mysterious man known only as The Other visits him twice a week, seeking help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge. But evidence soon emerges of another presence in the house, threatening to unravel the truth about this strange world. Piranesi's infinite labyrinth is full of startling images and surreal beauty, haunted by the tides and the clouds. This novel introduces an astonishing new world that will appeal to readers who enjoy magical realism and fantasy.
