"From the New York Times bestselling author of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, an
intoxicating, hypnotic new novel set in a dreamlike alternative reality. 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. For readers of
Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane and fans of Madeline Miller's Circe, Piranesi
introduces an astonishing new world, an infinite labyrinth, full of startling images and surreal
beauty, haunted by the tides and the clouds"-- Provided by publisher.
