This October we will be reading Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. With a Goodreads Choice Award, and Nominee for Best Fantasy in 2020, Clarke’s newest novel was listed as an “elegant study in solitude” by The Guardian, and “infinitely clever” by the Washington Post. From the Goodreads description: 

Piranesi’s house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. He lives to explore the house.

There is one other person in the house—a man called The Other, who visits Piranesi 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.

Cozy up this fall with a delightful mix of mystery and fantasy. Happy Reading, and we look forward to seeing you on October 15, 2023 at 2.30 pm.
