A review by femmefatigue
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

5.0

Beautiful novel that I found surprisingly anthropological. The scenery of the House is so simple and beautiful, it was such a pleasure to read.

The second half of the book especially towards the end really made me reflect a lot on the ways people relate to each other and what lenses we use to try and understand others and the world around us.

There's a really elegant simplicity to this book, an interesting storyline and ultimately quite a lot of interesting conjecture into the ways we understand eachother as people.
