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.
Comment: This was one of the most anticipated novels of 2020 and like many I had been eagerly waiting years for Clarke’s next novel. It more than fulfilled my expectations.
This was such a perfect novel that I was completely transported into its world for the duration. It is a novel that I expect to return to again and again to appreciate its layers and to re-experience Clarke’s elegantly lyrical writing.
Clarke creates a world that is both utterly strange and immediately relatable. I can visualise the house-world immediately when I think about it to write this review. The plot is intriguing and I was completely absorbed and unwilling to pause in my reading. She's one of those writers who has you hooked on page one and doesn't let up until the story is over. The reader uncovers information along with - and sometimes slightly ahead of - Piranesi, a technique that is often used by authors and is done really well here.
