Experience the mesmerizing world of 'Piranesi', the enthralling novel that won the 2021 Women's Prize for Fiction and captivated readers as a SUNDAY TIMES & NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. Crafted by the acclaimed author of 'Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell', this literary masterpiece invites you into a haunting, labyrinthine House filled with wonder and mystery.
Follow Piranesi, a solitary inhabitant of this enigmatic structure, as he diligently chronicles its myriad wonders: a myriad of majestic statues, waves roaring up the staircases, and ethereal clouds drifting through vast halls. Piranesi's life is a delicate balance of solitude, strange connections, and the unearthing of long-buried secrets.
Trapped in an otherworldly reality, Piranesi's encounters with the mysterious 'Other' and the creeping presence of a newcomer unveil a deeper layer of intrigue. As cryptic messages appear on the pavements, the question looms: Are they friend or foe? 'Piranesi' is not just a journey through an extraordinary world, but a compelling exploration of identity and the nature of existence itself.
Dive into this breathtaking narrative that 'astonished' and 'captivated' readers, praised by critics such as David Mitchell and The Guardian for its brilliance and depth. Don't miss your chance to own this 'exquisite puzzle-box' of storytelling.

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.
