When everything is lost, it’s our stories that survive . . .
Anthony Doerr has written a masterpiece of a tale, connecting five characters, over hundreds of years through their relationship to a single book: Cloud Cuckoo Land, an ancient story written round the first century C.E. Each of the five central characters are introduced to this story, and we see how it impacts their lives across the centuries.
“Cloud Cuckoo Land is a wildly inventive novel that teems with life, straddles an enormous range of experience and learning, and embodies the storytelling gifts that it celebrates. A humane and uplifting book for adults that’s infused with the magic of childhood reading experiences.” -- The New York Times Book Review
