Our main character, Piranesi, lives in an enormous house, hall after hall after hall, endlessly, each hall filled with statues, and with an ocean inside the house.Piranesi spends his days keeping track of the rooms and the tides in a series of journals and twice a week he meets with the only other person in the house, a man he calls The Other, and The Other questions Piranesi and then Piranesi is alone. And Piranesi is happy.
But is there anything more to this world? Could there be...another person here? Piranesi tries to piece together his discoveries to make sense of the new things he learns, as he explores and keeps notes in his journals.
I loved this freshly novel story and I loved the character of Piranesi with his innocence and charm.
