Piranesi

Our Take
A man lives in a house of infinite halls and tides. Clarke builds this impossible world so precisely that when the truth surfaces it is devastating. Piranesi's innocence is a kind of imprisonment, and his kindness in the face of manipulation is the quiet heartbreak at its centre.
