Publisher's Summary Bloomsbury presents Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, read by Chiwetel Ejiofor. Winner of the 2021 Audie Awards Audiobook of the Year. Winner of the 2021 Women's Prize for Fiction. Shortlisted for The Costa Novel of The Year Award. A Sunday Times and New York Times best seller. Chosen as A Book of The Year by the Times, Guardian, Observer, Daily Telegraph, Financial Times, I Paper, New Statesman, Spectator, Time Magazine, Times Literary Supplement, BBC Culture, Netgalley and the Church Times. The spectacular new audiobook from the best-selling author of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, ‘one of our greatest living authors,’ New York Magazine. Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone. Messages begin to appear, scratched out in chalk on the pavements. There is someone new in the House. But who are they and what do they want? Are they a friend or do they bring destruction and madness as the Other claims? Lost texts must be found, secrets must be uncovered. The world that Piranesi thought he knew is becoming strange and dangerous. The beauty of the House is immeasurable; its kindness infinite. ©2020 Susanna Clarke (P)2020 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

Beautifully written, beautifully written, beautifully, written. Did I mention it was beautifully written? In case I didn't, it was beautifully written. Really beautifully written. Truly. Would have been much more suited as a novella, or even, pardon me, a long short story. The denouement is so long overdue by the end that it really does feel like welcome and blessed relief, and perhaps that was the point; however, any revelation(s) that may manifest by the end could have been as well served by considerably less 'setup'. Beautifully narrated, seriously.
It was so slow and the book only slightly picks up 3/4 of the way through and quickly ends. Frustrating. The narrator was excellent.
