Piranesi

Book review for Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. I rated it 4 stars. This book kicks off rather abstractly. A man wanders the halls of a huge house with hundreds of rooms. Amongst its many rooms, there are 13 dead bodies - all skeletons - plus one other (alive) man who has given the main character his name, Piranesi. Tides rush in out of the rooms. There's big seabirds, and also seaweed.
