Piranesi
From the first line the story grabs your attention. The writing style may take some getting used to in that the story seems to be a mystery and/or a fantasy blended with reality.
Piranesi and "the Other are the only two in a house with infinite halls and statues. Piranesi has a meager existence in "the House". He keeps detailed journals cataloguing every space in the House. He sometimes helps the Other search for 'the Great and Secret Knowledge'. The Other's comes and goes; to and from where is unknown. There are hints throughout that there is more to what would appear to be a world separate from our own.

Weird and wonderful
This book will not be for everyone. It is fascinating and reads like you have been using a magic mushroom. Lots of detail and imagining. It boiled down to a very simple premise but took a most complicated path to that revelation. Susanna Clarke - I would love to get to know her...but not even sure that would be possible. She seems to inhabit another dimension.
