Piranesi by Susanna Clarke (Paperback)

Description The long-awaited return from the author of the multi-million copy bestselling Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. An instant classic that has been hailed as one of the finest works of fiction of the twenty-first century. Fifteen years later, it is finally time to enter the House and meet Piranesi… May your Paths be safe, your Floors unbroken and may the House fill your eyes with Beauty. “What a world Susanna Clarke conjures into being, what a tick-tock-tick-tock of reveals, what a pure protagonist, what a morally squalid supporting cast, what beauty, tension and restraint, and what a pitch-perfect ending. Piranesi is an exquisite puzzle-box far, far bigger on the inside than it is on the outside” DAVID MITCHELL. ‘Piranesi is a gorgeous, spellbinding mystery that gently unravels page by page. Precisely the sort of book that I love wordlessly handing to someone so they can have the pleasure of uncovering its secrets for themselves. This book is a treasure, washed up upon a forgotten shore, waiting to be discovered’ ERIN MORGENSTERN The long-awaited return from the author of the multi-million copy bestselling Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
