Description
Piranesi is a hypnotic new novel by Susanna Clarke, set in a dreamlike alternative reality. The house at its centre is a labyrinth of infinite rooms, corridors, and statues, where an ocean is imprisoned and waves thunder up staircases. Piranesi is not afraid, understanding the tides and the pattern of the labyrinth, and lives to explore its endless halls. A mysterious figure, known only as The Other, visits Piranesi twice a week, asking for help with research into a Great and Secret Knowledge. As Piranesi delves deeper into the house, evidence emerges of another presence, and a terrible truth begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond his own. This is a world of startling images and surreal beauty, haunted by the tides and the clouds.
