zumbador reviewed Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
Review of 'Piranesi' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
"The Beauty of the House is Immeasurable, its Kindness Infinite".
My brother gave me this beautiful copy of Piranesi for my birthday. I only just read it. It's one of the most remarkable books I've ever read. It's deeply influenced by the Narnia books, especially The Magicians Nephew, and the etchings of the artists Piranesi. Both of those things have been very important to me, especially when I was a student.
This is a gentle, serious, kind story. Full of dreamlike, surreal, vivid moments. Just beautiful. Thank you Andries for this gift. ❤️
