Reviews
"Clarke's imagination is prodigious, her pacing is masterly and she knows how to employ dry humor in the service of majesty." -- Gregory Maguire, The New York Times "Ms. Clarke's fertile imagination takes her readers to many a mysterious realm." -- Janet Maslin, The New York Times review of JONATHAN STRANGE & MR. NORRELL "Nobody writes about magic the way Clarke does . . . She writes about magic as if she's actually worked it." -- Lev Grossman, TIME Magazine "The prose . . . is consistently flawless and beautiful. Reading Clarke is like inspecting some antiquated craft, such as marquetry or fine hand embroidery." -- Graham Joyce, The Washington Post on THE LADIES OF GRACE ADIEU AND OTHER STORIES "Susanna Clarke shows amazing intellect and imagination . . . One of the finest new authors of our generation." -- Fantasy Book Review "Whatever Susanna Clarke writes next, I'm dying to read it." -- Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Reviews "Magnificent and original." -- Michael Dirda, The Washington Post "Best of 2004" listing for JONATHAN STRANGE & MR. NORRELL "The writing is captivating, the characters charming, and the notion that perhaps there's more to reality than what our senses tell us is, as Clarke might say with a smile, simply enchanting." -- Nancy Pearl, NPR "Susanna Clarke's magic is universal." -- Salon, " Piranesi astonished me. It is a miraculous and luminous feat of storytelling, at once a gripping mystery, an adventure through a brilliant new fantasy world, and a deep meditation on the human condition: feeling lost, and being found. I already want to be back in its haunting and beautiful halls!" -- Madeline Miller, New York Times Bestselling Author of CIRCE "Piranesi is a gorgeous, spellbinding mystery that gently unravels page by page. Precisely the sort of book that I love wordlessly handing to someone so they can have the pleasure of uncovering its secrets for themselves. This book is a treasure, washed up upon a forgotten shore, waiting to be discovered." -- Erin Morgenstern, NYT bestselling author of THE STARLESS SEA and THE NIGHT CIRCUS "What a world Susanna Clarke conjures into being, what a tick-tock-tick-tock of reveals, what a pure protagonist, what a morally-squalid supporting cast, what beauty, tension and restraint, and what a pitch-perfect ending. Piranesi is an exquisite puzzle-box far, far bigger on the inside than it is on the outside." -- David Mitchell, New York Times bestselling author of CLOUD ATLAS "Readers who accompany [Piranesi] as he learns to understand himself will see magic returning to our world. Weird and haunting and excellent." -- Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review "Clarke wraps a twisty mystery inside a metaphysical fantasy in her extraordinary new novel . . . Sure to be recognized as one of the year's most inventive." -- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "Clarke's imagination is prodigious, her pacing is masterly and she knows how to employ dry humor in the service of majesty." -- Gregory Maguire, The New York Times "Ms. Clarke's fertile imagination takes her readers to many a mysterious realm." -- Janet Maslin, The New York Times review of JONATHAN STRANGE & MR.

It drops you into a mind-bending fantasy world, a vast labyrinth with infinite rooms and seas that sweep into halls and up staircases with the tides. ... It's a hypnotic tale that you can devour in a day (and probably will; it's that hard to put down)." -- AARP "Destined to become a work of classic fantasy." -- Ron Charles, CBS Sunday Morning Book Report "Almost impossible to put down... lavishly descriptive, charming, heartbreaking and imbued with a magic that will be familiar to Clarke's devoted readers, Piranesi will satisfy lovers of Jonathan Strange and win her many new fans." -- Bookpage, starred review "Readers who accompany [Piranesi] as he learns to understand himself will see magic returning to our world. Weird and haunting and excellent." -- Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review "Clarke wraps a twisty mystery inside a metaphysical fantasy in her extraordinary new novel . . . Sure to be recognized as one of the year's most inventive." -- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "As questions multiply and suspense mounts in this spellbinding, occult puzzle of a fable, one begins to wonder if perhaps the reverence, kindness, and gratitude practiced by Clarke's enchanting and resilient hero aren't all the wisdom one truly needs." -- Booklist, Starred Review "Clarke creates an immersive world that readers can almost believe exists. This is a solid crossover pick for readers whose appreciation of magical fantasy leans toward V.E. Schwab or Erin Morgenstern." -- Library Journal, Starred Review "Clarke's imagination is prodigious, her pacing is masterly and she knows how to employ dry humor in the service of majesty." -- Gregory Maguire, The New York Times "Nobody writes about magic the way Clarke does . . .

Sure to be recognized as one of the year's most inventive." -- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "As questions multiply and suspense mounts in this spellbinding, occult puzzle of a fable, one begins to wonder if perhaps the reverence, kindness, and gratitude practiced by Clarke's enchanting and resilient hero aren't all the wisdom one truly needs." -- Booklist, Starred Review "Clarke's imagination is prodigious, her pacing is masterly and she knows how to employ dry humor in the service of majesty." -- Gregory Maguire, The New York Times "Ms. Clarke's fertile imagination takes her readers to many a mysterious realm." -- Janet Maslin, The New York Times review of JONATHAN STRANGE & MR. NORRELL "Nobody writes about magic the way Clarke does . . . She writes about magic as if she's actually worked it." -- Lev Grossman, TIME Magazine "The prose . . . is consistently flawless and beautiful. Reading Clarke is like inspecting some antiquated craft, such as marquetry or fine hand embroidery." -- Graham Joyce, The Washington Post on THE LADIES OF GRACE ADIEU AND OTHER STORIES "Susanna Clarke shows amazing intellect and imagination . . . One of the finest new authors of our generation." -- Fantasy Book Review "Whatever Susanna Clarke writes next, I'm dying to read it." -- Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Reviews "Magnificent and original." -- Michael Dirda, The Washington Post "Best of 2004" listing for JONATHAN STRANGE & MR. NORRELL "The writing is captivating, the characters charming, and the notion that perhaps there's more to reality than what our senses tell us is, as Clarke might say with a smile, simply enchanting." -- Nancy Pearl, NPR "Susanna Clarke's magic is universal." -- Salon, "A novel that feels like a surreal meditation on life in quarantine." -- The New Yorker " Piranesi astonished me. It is a miraculous and luminous feat of storytelling, at once a gripping mystery, an adventure through a brilliant new fantasy world, and a deep meditation on the human condition: feeling lost, and being found. I already want to be back in its haunting and beautiful halls!" -- Madeline Miller, New York Times Bestselling Author of CIRCE "Unforgettable - surely one of the most original works of fiction this season. It drops you into a mind-bending fantasy world, a vast labyrinth with infinite rooms and seas that sweep into halls and up staircases with the tides. ... It''s a hypnotic tale that you can devour in a day (and probably will; it''s that hard to put down)." -- AARP "Piranesi is a gorgeous, spellbinding mystery that gently unravels page by page. Precisely the sort of book that I love wordlessly handing to someone so they can have the pleasure of uncovering its secrets for themselves. This book is a treasure, washed up upon a forgotten shore, waiting to be discovered." -- Erin Morgenstern, NYT bestselling author of THE STARLESS SEA and THE NIGHT CIRCUS "A short and beautiful novel that reads like a poem, not in its use of language (which is very accessible) but rather in its cumulative effect of expressing an emotion and state of being that is inexpressible. It''s a strange and lovely read." -- Buzzfeed "What a world Susanna Clarke conjures into being, what a tick-tock-tick-tock of reveals, what a pure protagonist, what a morally-squalid supporting cast, what beauty, tension and restraint, and what a pitch-perfect ending. Piranesi is an exquisite puzzle-box far, far bigger on the inside than it is on the outside." -- David Mitchell, New York Times bestselling author of CLOUD ATLAS "Destined to become a work of classic fantasy." -- Ron Charles, CBS Sunday Morning Book Report " Piranesi Will Wreck You: The novel establishes Susanna Clarke as one of our greatest living writers." -- New York Magazine "Infinitely clever... none of [Clarke''s] enchantment has worn off - it''s evolved. . . to abide in these pages is to find oneself happily detained in awe." -- The Washington Post "Susanna Clarke''s first novel in sixteen years is a wonder." -- Slate "Susanna Clarke has fashioned her own myth anew and enlarged the world again." -- The New Republic "Almost impossible to put down... lavishly descriptive, charming, heartbreaking and imbued with a magic that will be familiar to Clarke''s devoted readers, Piranesi will satisfy lovers of Jonathan Strange and win her many new fans." -- Bookpage, starred review "Readers who accompany [Piranesi] as he learns to understand himself will see magic returning to our world. Weird and haunting and excellent." -- Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review "Clarke wraps a twisty mystery inside a metaphysical fantasy in her extraordinary new novel . . . Sure to be recognized as one of the year''s most inventive." -- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "As questions multiply and suspense mounts in this spellbinding, occult puzzle of a fable, one begins to wonder if perhaps the reverence, kindness, and gratitude practiced by Clarke''s enchanting and resilient hero aren''t all the wisdom one truly needs." -- Booklist, Starred Review "Clarke creates an immersive world that readers can almost believe exists. This is a solid crossover pick for readers whose appreciation of magical fantasy leans toward V.E. Schwab or Erin Morgenstern." -- Library Journal, Starred Review "Clarke''s imagination is prodigious, her pacing is masterly and she knows how to employ dry humor in the service of majesty." -- Gregory Maguire, The New York Times "Nobody writes about magic the way Clarke does . . . She writes about magic as if she''s actually worked it." -- Lev Grossman, TIME Magazine

Synopsis
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., New York Times Bestseller Winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction World 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.
