‘What a world Susanna Clarke conjures into being …Piranesi is an exquisite puzzle-box’ DAVID MITCHELL The Beauty of the House is immeasurable its Kindness infinite. The world that Piranesi thought he knew is becoming strange and dangerous. But who are they and what do they want? Are they a friend or do they bring destruction and madness as the Other claims? Lost texts must be found secrets must be uncovered. Messages begin to appear, scratched out in chalk on the pavements. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls.
