Book Club Session 

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke is a hypnotic and imaginative novel that defies convention. Set in a mysterious, labyrinthine House filled with endless halls, statues, and tides, the story follows a solitary man known as Piranesi, who spends his days cataloguing the wonders around him. But as fragmented clues begin to surface, the truth about the world and Piranesi’s place in it slowly unravels.

Both haunting and beautiful, Piranesi is a meditation on solitude, knowledge, and the boundaries of reality. A book that lingers long after the final page.
