I’ve been thinking about this book everyday since finishing it about two weeks ago. Instantly a new favorite of mine— and I recognized that within just a few pages. 

Piranesi is beautiful and poetic— and as you fall deeper in love with how Piranesi interacts with the world around him, your heart breaks more and more. Such a moving story about our connection to the natural world, relationships with the self and other, and selfishness. 

Highly recommend to everyone.
