The award-winning, New York Times bestselling fantasy sensation — called “a miraculous and luminous feat of storytelling” by Madeline Miller.
Piranesi’s house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls lined with thousands upon thousands of statues. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned — waves thunder up staircases, rooms flood in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself.
There is one other person in the house — a man called The Other, who visits twice a week and asks for help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge. But as Piranesi explores, evidence emerges of another person, and a terrible truth begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always known.
From the author of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, a Hugo Award finalist for Best Novel.
