Piranesi is a beautiful dream-like story! It's unique and unlike anything that I've ever read before. Susanna Clarke has a true gift with words, she's managed to create a beautiful, mysterious story that is dark and yet still so innocent and beautiful. Everything about this book is perfect, the characters, the writing, the plot and pacing.
Graphic: Gun violence and Confinement
Moderate: Kidnapping
Minor: Excrement and Blood
