Try and figure out how in the world an ocean can be contained in a house. Join Piranesi and The Other as they attempt to find A Great and Secret Knowledge. Lewis, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and classic Greco-Roman culture, it still maintained its individuality so well that I can hardly compare it to anything else. What made it truly excellent, though, is that while you could see nods to C.S. It is a beautiful blend of adventure and contemplation, forcing readers to learn things about themselves and their own world as they explore the world of Piranesi through his journal entries.Īside from the world building, the story had all of the necessities: a lovable protagonist, an evil antagonist or two, suspense, a subtle commentary on religion and our views of nature, the whole thing.

Piranesi won the 2021 Audiobook of the Year Audie Award (read by Chiwetel Ejiofor), was named a Must-Read Book of 2020 by Time Magazine, was a Goodreads. Her writing style is stunning, and the imagery she describes is breathtaking. To move on to the actual story itself, Clarke has created a fantastic world where an ocean can be contained in a house. This book sets its readers up for a journey before they even hit chapter one. Can we just pause and appreciate this ominous opening to Piranesi? When I first opened this book, these quotes seemed significant, but when I went back to them when I was about halfway through the book I was completely floored by just how significant they turned out to be.
