Piranesi

There's far more to dig into with this story. It'll needs more than one reading. I wouldn't have expected anything less from Clarke, to be honest.

On the surface, there's a mystery to unravel, but it's more than that.

Having only just finished it (and without spoilers), to me it's a story of surviving, of reconciling the different people you are throughout your life. Personally, I read it as a metaphor for incorporating things that suddenly change - whatever that might be: mental or physical health, parenthood, grief (to name only a few sudden changes) - into who you see yourself as. It's a solitary journey.

I actually really enjoyed it, and given enough time to digest, I'll probably find more layers.
