A review by oliviasbooktalk
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

5.0

The less you know about this book, and the more you lean into your 'willing suspension of disbelief', the more you'll enjoy it. What I will give is: told via journal entries, we learn about a man named Piranesi, an enchanting house, and the residents that haunt the halls. It is original, mesmerizing, and unexpected, while also showing how authors do not need to write 600+ page tomes in order to build stunning words and tell un-put-down-able stories.
