Summary: initially this was a hard book to read, for so many reasons, most (if not) all of which are mine, and which I hope I’ve detailed above. If you want to take from that I didn’t understand what happened, well that’s you’re right and you may be correct. To give even one clue away could potentially spoil the whole. I am not going to point out what happens later in the book as that would be considered by many readers to be classed as a spoiler, and I try to avoid that. I will admit that reading got easier when certain things fell into place. At under 300 pages, it is shorter, but also inhabits a different physical world, that may or may not be wholly different on an other previously defined world. This book is both the same, but also significantly different to Mr Norrell. Then I realised I had previously devoured the 1000+ page “ Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrell” book in the space of a few weeks that I remembered why I had probably brought this specific book in the first place. It was pretty much over a month when I looked up the authour (ok, it was a case of “why the hell did I buy this book” kind of thing). I am willing to accept that this is because I’ve not read a “proper” book in so long. Meanwhile, this was in the pile, was relatively short (<300 pages), I’ve not been reading much recently, etc, so when this came up as an option for a book club, it was an automatic “yes” from me.įor such a short book, it was a fairly hard book for me to read, especially in the first half. For a moment, I *think* I suspect I mistook the author as Sarah Winters, who I’ve also enjoyed. This is one of the few books I brought new on publication, though I suspect that I forget why I was so excited when it came out. This may or may not affect my review of this book The books I’ve been reading over the last five or more years have not exactly been “challenging” and have otherwise been “soft” books to read.
But as Piranesi explores, evidence emerges of another person, and a terrible truth begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always knownīefore I start, I will offer a few admissions: There is one other person in the house-a man called The Other, who visits Piranesi twice a week and asks for help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge. But Piranesi is not afraid he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. Piranesi’s house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others.
