What other mysteries does the House hold, and is there really a Sixteenth Person who may be residing in the Far-Distant Halls? These are the questions that start to bother our narrator as he is slowly forced to question the very nature of his existence in this bewildering World of Tides and Architectural Beauty. Then, cryptic messages start to appear in some Halls, and our narrator witnesses strange visions. Our narrator’s only human contact is the man only known as the Other, who also often frequents the Halls and who sees the World very differently from our narrator. In the House, architectural splendours meet natural wonders – sea Tides, bringing marine life and vegetation, often flood the seemingly infinite number of opulent Halls, where numerous enigmatic statues of all sizes daze and confuse. This time, we have a diary-like narrative and our narrator observes, records and catalogues a curious World around him – the House. Piranesi is a new fantasy novel by the author of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
