From steamy romances to coming-of-age novels to a history of the hot dog, we've got the perfect beach or park read for everyone.
I had gotten into a nonfiction kick for a few years and forgotten a bit about fantasy/sci-fi, which had always been my genre of choice as a kid and young adult . It was lovely to reconnect with the fantasy novel as an adult via Susanna Clarke’s beautifulespecially reading from a post-pandemic perspective. The protagonist, Piranesi, lives nearly alone in a giant house full of infinite hallways and statues, with the sea flooding the floor below him and the clouds permeating the floor above.
He fends for himself, survives by fishing, and meticulously documents and maps out the wonders of the house, to the extent that he can now predict the tides.He only knows of one other living person in his world—the Other—who he thinks is in his friend and in his same boat, metaphorically speaking. Then the secrets of the house and the Other begin to unravel, and it becomes a real page-turner.
