Highly enjoyable. Only put it down because I’m a mom. Otherwise would have read it in one day. Descriptive, interesting, very gradually revealed the story in a very tantalizing way. Evoked fascinating images of the House which I tried to picture. Piranesi was an interesting character, respectful of life and death and the unknowable. Intelligent but innocent. Kind, sympathetic. I also enjoyed the symbolism.
