Piranesi lives alone in an endless, dreamlike House of statues and tides, keeping careful records of its wonders. When a stranger's messages begin appearing in chalk on the floors, the world he thought he knew starts to unravel.

In a small Irish town in 1985, coal merchant Bill Furlong senses the town's complicit silence around the local convent as Christmas approaches.

Short enough to read in an evening — it stays with you far longer.

Richard Powers weaves their stories into a sweeping, Pulitzer Prize-winning meditation on how little we understand the living world around us. Ambitious, strange, and genuinely moving.
Klara is an Artificial Friend, watching the world from a store window and hoping to be chosen. When she finally is, she must learn what love and loyalty mean to the humans she's built to serve.

Circe is an odd child of the sun god Helios — too strange for the gods, too powerful to ignore — and is exiled to a deserted island once her powers are discovered. There she hones her craft as a witch and crosses paths with the most famous figures of Greek myth. Madeline Miller reimagines a minor character from the Odyssey as the hero of her own epic.
