The story takes place in "the House," a massive, infinite structure resembling a classical temple. It consists of three levels: the Lower Halls (which flood with tides), the Middle Halls (where the protagonist lives), and the Upper Halls (where clouds form and storms brew). Every hall is filled with hundreds of thousands of statues, ranging from deities to ordinary people. Report: Piranesi by Susanna Clarke Title: Piranesi Author:
