This is one of my favourite books and I picked it for my book club because I wanted to re-visit it. I really loved reading it while knowing what was going to happen and spotting the hints along the way. Piranesi is a fascinating character and I love his naivety, empathy and intelligence. I also love his world and the way he describes it. I found myself thinking about the world of Halls and Statues and Tides whenever I wasn't reading it and there are so many layers to the story. It's made me consider once again if I should attempt to read Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell but at 1000 pages I'm still not sure.

The juxtaposition of how isolated Piranesi is with how he revered the natural world… it’s heartbreaking. his acceptance of his position in the world is both something that inspires hope in survival and ingenuity, but also built up the sense of frustration with how stuck he was.
The twist of the book was fascinating, and some thing that turns so much of the perspective of Piranesi on its head.
This is one of those books that I can’t stop thinking about long after I read it.
