"That's what the gods do / they spin threads of ruin through the fabric our lives / all to make a song for generations to come."
- Anthony Doerr

Breathtaking, audacious, beautiful and oh so satisfying. Stick with the initial slog of starting the book because it just gets better and better over time. The themes of the redemptive power of stories and the power of humanity to survive impossible odds coupled with the beautifully crafted characters make this book a wonderful read. The more you look the more you find - multilayered and beautiful.
