Piranesi

Susanna Clarke's first book, “Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell” was absolutely amazing. A truly un-put-downable read.

When I learned that “Piranesi” was coming out, I was very excited. But, I guess not reading as much during the pandemic (because I had to work as much, if not more, than before) and life after got in the way.

Finally, when I'm not actually pressured to hit my reading goal this year because I've already surpassed it, I decided to finally turn my attention to “Piranesi.”

There are some beautiful meditative portions of this book. And center of the book was particularly good. But, it took me quite a while to get past the first third and the last third could've been chopped off without harming the story. Perhaps, if this had been a novella, that would have been a much tighter tale.
