Hi Kristina! "Piranesi" is one of my all-time favorite books, and I too struggled getting through the very beginning, because I like going into novellas completely blind. With books like this one, I think there is a massive payoff for the reader knowing as little as possible. Currently I am listening to Clarke's, "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" for Big Book Summer and read her essay on Jane Austen last month. I think Clarke is so masterful and brilliant, and I can't wait for her to release a new novel. Happy reading! xx
