New York Times BestsellerWinner of the Women's Prize for FictionWorld Fantasy Awards Finalist 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.Author: Susanna ClarkePublisher: Bloomsbury PublishingPublished: 09/15/2020Pages: 272Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 0.90lbsSize: 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.10dISBN: 9781635575637Award: Hugo Award - FinalistReview Citation(s): Publishers Weekly 06/29/2020Kirkus Reviews 07/01/2020Library Journal 07/01/2020 pg. 44Booklist 07/01/2020 pg. 21Kirkus Reviews 08/15/2020 pg. 8Shelf Awareness 12/01/2020Foreword 09/02/2020About the AuthorSusanna Clarke is the author of the The Ladies of Grace Adieu and Other Stories and the New York Times bestseller and Hugo Award-winning Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
