Readers are going to be in for a treat with this book!" Gina, Dymocks Neutral Bay This book stopped me in my tracks as I was not prepared for the ending and it also made me ponder the past, present and future with a new perspective.
It follows a wonderful cast of characters, and the way their stories are connected, as well as the story that connects them, is a myth completely invented by Anthony Doerr himself. The book is set in three distinct time frames, the past in 1453, the present, and decades in the future. "It’s been seven years since we were treated to the splendour of All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, and any hesitancies I may have had, wondering if Cloud Cuckoo Land would remotely be as good, were dispelled by the end of the first chapter.
Like Marie-Laure and Werner in All the Light We Cannot See, Anna, Omeir, Zeno, Seymour and Konstance are dreamers and outsiders, struggling to survive and finding resourcefulness and hope in the midst of peril. Read the spectacular and heartbreaking new novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of All the Light We Cannot See.Ĭloud Cuckoo Land follows three storylines: Anna and Omeir, on opposite sides of the formidable city wall during the 1453 siege of Constantinople teenage idealist Seymour and gentle octogenarian Zeno, in an attack on a public library in present day Idaho and Konstance, on an interstellar ship bound for a distant exoplanet, decades from now.Ī single copy of an ancient text – the story of Aethon, who longs to be turned into a bird so that he can fly to the paradise of Cloud Cuckoo Land – provides solace, mystery and the most profound human connection to these five unforgettable characters.
