Piranesi

Piranesi is extremely different from Strange & Norrell - not as long, with fewer fantasy elements, characters and plot and not a footnote in sight! - but it's just as well written. A slow burn at the beginning but worth the payoff. At first I thought the burn was too slow but on reflection, the initial lengthy descriptions of the House work perfectly to illustrate the House's endlessness. Highly appropriate in 2020, actually. Then the mystery kicks in and Piranesi is hard to put down!
