Normally I don't write reviews but I feel I owe it to this book to at least say something because it inspired me to do so. Piranesi is beautiful, evocative and terrifying. It's so riveting and so short I didn't want it to end but I also felt a wave of relief wash over me when it did, it is quite literally the type of story you dream of, a slap of optimism in the face of hopelessness, a tragedy about how wonderful life is.

The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.
