Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Weird. I was tempted to read this because I loved her humorous and insightful dealings with magic in Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. This is a short and confusing journey through a labyrinthine alternate world. The power of the prose and the clues that teasingly almost make sense of what is going on compelled me to keep reading even when I had no idea at all what was going on. Maybe someday the meaning of this story will suddenly dawn on me and I'll think it is brilliant. For now I'm simply puzzled, but pleasantly so.
