Piranesi: WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE 2021 is a captivating novel by the acclaimed author Susanna Clarke, who previously mesmerized readers with 'Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell'. This extraordinary literary work has garnered prestigious accolades, including the Women's Prize for Fiction in 2021, and has claimed its spot on both the Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller lists.
Step into the enchanting world of Piranesi, a solitary resident of a mysterious House filled with endless corridors and countless statues. Piranesi devotes his days to documenting the wonders of his surroundings, which are influenced by the ebb and flow of the tides. His only companion, known as the Other, visits bi-weekly, while he cares for the Dead, enveloped in a serene solitude.
However, this delicate equilibrium shatters when cryptic messages begin to appear, heralding the arrival of an unknown presence. Piranesi must confront buried secrets and reevaluate the very essence of his reality. This profound narrative experience intertwines beauty, kindness, and mystery, creating a richly layered story that will captivate readers.
Piranesi is not merely a book; it is a treasure that promises to enrich your imagination and provide an unforgettable reading experience.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
