I am really looking forward to this book, but I also don’t know how it could possibly live up to Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell for me!


I haven't read Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell* so I can't say but Piranesi is a masterpiece, imho.

 

 

*Have bought a copy. It's been a long time since I read a really long book.

I would say the same about Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell! I knew I’d like the subject when I bought it, but I absolutely did not expect to love it as much as I did. It is so well crafted. I hope you’ll love it too!

It is weird, I'll grant you that.  Stream-of-consciousness, too.

I didn’t know that! It’s been a very long time since I read a stream-of-consciousness novel so that should be interesting.

It's very easy to read though. It's stunning.
