'PIRANESI' by Susanna Clarke (2020)

It's been a while since I finished this, but I moved to a new appartment! Today is the first day where I feel like I have some room to breathe again. So, here is my review for Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. Oh and btw, do not read this review if you want to read the book. It contains spoilers and that will completely ruin the story.. Quickly rose to be one of my favourite books. I love piranesi, not just the book but the person as well. At first The House is dazzling and not always in a good way. Is it outside? inside? There's the sea everywhere, but also lot's of stairs, but also windows and courtyards (?). So it reads like a Greek inspired fantasy labyrinth. The person living there, Piranesi, he loves it. He adores The House, actually reveres it. But not in an annoying way, you almost grow to love The House as much as he does because he does it in such an honest, innocent and meaningful way. The feeling that there is more to it than Piranesi knows creeps up pretty fast and it hooked me all the way until the end. (continue reading)
