A review by leahjanespeare
Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr

adventurous hopeful reflective sad slow-paced

4.5

It starts with a book. A humble, whimsical fable of Ancient Greece. This fable then manages to connect people across a thousand years. From the fall of Constantinople to an interstellar journey to another planet, I felt the collective longing across the web of characters all searching for the unattainable utopian state in life. A quiet epic so like the ancients it pulls from, Doerr has created a meta masterpiece that’s wholly immersive and begging for awards.
