Piranesi by Susanna Clarke


In this beautiful, mysterious, and gripping novel by the author of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, Piranesi lives in a vast labyrinth lined with statues where the ocean can flood the rooms in an instant. Piranesi meets regularly with the Other, the only other person in the house, to assist in his research. When Piranesi begins to realize that the Other is not the person he claims to be, Piranesi must use his knowledge of the labyrinth and tides to solve the mystery of his own existence.
