Description
An EXCLUSIVE EARLY EXTRACT from Piranesi, the long-awaited return from the author of multi-million-copy bestseller Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has?
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell transported over four million readers into its mysterious world. It became an instant classic and has been hailed as one of the finest works of fiction of the twenty-first century.
Fifteen years later, it is time to enter the House and meet Piranesi.
May your Paths be safe, your Floors unbroken and may the House fill your eyes with Beauty.
'Piranesi is a gorgeous, spellbinding mystery that gently unravels page by page. Precisely the sort of book that I love wordlessly handing to someone so they can have the pleasure of uncovering its secrets for themselves. This book is a treasure, washed up upon a forgotten shore, waiting to be discovered'

Wow!
I loved Jonathan Strange and to hear that Clarke had another novel (finally!!) coming out was great news! And this is an intriguing, mysterious and in many ways chilling little sneak preview of that new novel - due out on 15th September...
We meet The House which is or may be The World, an apparently unending building full of tides and clouds and only two living people.... It reminded me a lot of Erin Morgenstern's library in The Starless Sea, what little snippet we got of it and I cannot wait until September to see what Clarke does with this unique world. If there is any writer I can trust with this, it is Clarke.

This was very intriguing extract. It definitely gave me a lot of questions about how the rest of the book will play out. After reading this I immediately preordered the book because I’m so interested in where this book is going.

Wow! I’ve been waiting for 17 years for this and just this short extract has lured me in immediately. I was in two minds whether to read the teaser as the thought of getting a taste of it then having to wait a further 4 months is agony. Such imaginative and skilful writing bursting from the pages, it was never in doubt. I’m so excited for the full novel – huge thanks to Bloomsbury and Netgalley for fully whetting my appetite.

In my opinion a short extract is meant to leave you wanting to read more and desperately waiting the publication date in order to do this. The short extract I have just read ticks all those boxes. I found myself saying no when I could no longer turn a page. I am truly waiting impatiently I might add to get my hands on the full story in order to determine if there are only 2 left in the house/world of it there will be a twist.
For a very short extract this was a belter to read.
