Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr

adventurous inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Loved the five stories in Cloud Cuckoo Land and their connection to each other. It was a sad yet heartwarming tale with a little bit of environmentalism mixed in. I felt connected to each character and wanted to see them happy and fulfilled. 
There were several quotes that I liked, but " The world as it is is enough." Was my favorite and was delivered at the perfect moment in the story.
