Winner of the 2021 Women's Prize for Fiction A SUNDAY TIMES &
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The spectacular new novel from the
bestselling author of JONATHAN STRANGE & MR NORRELL, 'one of
our greatest living authors' NEW YORK MAGAZINE
__________________________________ Piranesi lives in the House.
Perhaps he always has. 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. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the
Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But
mostly, he is alone. Messages begin to appear, scratched out in
chalk on the pavements. There is someone new in the House. 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. The world that Piranesi thought
he knew is becoming strange and dangerous. The Beauty of the House
is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.

otherworldly' GUARDIAN 'Piranesi astonished me. It is a miraculous
and luminous feat of storytelling' MADELINE MILLER 'Brilliantly
singular' SUNDAY TIMES 'A gorgeous, spellbinding mystery ... This
book is a treasure, washed up upon a forgotten shore, waiting to be
discovered' ERIN MORGENSTERN 'Head-spinning ... Fully imagined and
richly evoked' TELEGRAPH
