Piranesi

Susanna Clarke, 2020

Women's Prize for Fiction, 2021.

A man lives alone in an endless house of halls and statues, and keeps careful notes.

Talk about it

  1. What did you make of the House when you first entered it?
  2. How does keeping careful notes shape the way the narrator sees his world?
  3. What would you miss most if you lived somewhere so beautiful and so alone?

Questions we wrote from what the book covers. They don’t give away the plot. How we pick. For more, try our questions for any book.
