SUMMARY:Librarian's Choice Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Piranesi’s house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite\, its corridors endless\, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues\, each one different from all the others. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases\, rooms are flooded in an instant. He is visited by a man called The Other who enlists Piranesi’s help in uncovering A Great and Secret Knowledge. But as Piranesi explores\, evidence emerges of another person\, and a terrible truth begins to unravel\, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always known.
