Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr

5.0

Since All the Light We Cannot See is one of my absolute favorite novels, I came into this with really high expectations, but I think Doerr has truly outdone himself with Cloud Cuckoo Land. Dedicated to librarians and a testament to the power of stories to ignite imagination and connect individuals across centuries, this book is a meditation on both the power and the fragility of the written word. The prose is beautiful and atmospheric, resulting in a novel that's both literary and engrossing. I'm predicting that it will be an absolute favorite I will reread over and over.
