Unruly Stacks reviewed Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
From the New York Times bestselling author of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, an …
Well Worth Waiting For
5 stars
I've been excited by Susanna Clarke's writing since I first picked up Jonathan Strange, and when I first heard this book was coming out, I was suddenly aware that I hadn't heard about her in a long while! Some Googling revealed that she'd been suffering from severe health issues for years now, and this book was the result of more years of hardship than I could fathom.

All told, I found it delightful, and hopefully you will/have too!

First read, in one sitting. Dick Cheney as president in this alternate history is easily the most terrifying part of the book. 🥴
