From the New York Times bestselling author of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, an intoxicating, hypnotic new novel set in a dreamlike alternative reality.
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. Within the labyrinth of
halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases, rooms are
flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the
tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. He lives to
explore the house.
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 as Piranesi
explores, evidence emerges of another person, and a terrible truth
begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always
known.
For readers of Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane and fans of Madeline Miller's Circe, Piranesi
introduces an astonishing new world, an infinite labyrinth, full of
startling images and surreal beauty, haunted by the tides and the
clouds.
