Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
4.0

What a strange little trip this book was. Surreal and mysterious, for the first quarter you just must submit to being along for the ride. Once you begin to get an inkling of what’s happening it’s still satisfying. I appreciate that in the end the author didn’t desert her characters for the sake of an easier ending - there is resolution, but it’s like real resolution in that it’s not wrapped up in a perfect bow.
