Susanna Clarke's follow up to Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is much shorter and much weirder! Piranesi follows our title character around a mysterious labyrinth lined with thousands of statues, within these halls and ocean is imprisoned. As Piranesi explores his "house" he meets another man, simply called the Other, who Piranesi visits and helps to research a "Great and Secret Knowledge". But there may be others. Not much of a description I know, but for fantasy readers looking for something completely unique and different, check out this book! I would hate to spoil the fun; this is not your usual formulaic fantasy novel. Available in the library at FIC CLarke, and available on Overdrive as an E-book.
