Piranesi

Susanna Clarke

★★★★½4.5

Unlike anything else I've read. It starts as a puzzle and ends as something tender and strange. Clarke builds a world with such internal logic that by the time you understand what's happening, you've already accepted all of it completely. I finished it in one afternoon and sat with it for days.

a passage

The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.
