Cloud Cuckoo Land, Anthony Doerr’s gorgeous third novel, brings together an unforgettable cast of dreamers and outsiders from past, present and future to offer a vision of survival against all odds. The story is about children on the cusp of adulthood in worlds in peril, who find resilience, hope—and a book.
Cloud Cuckoo Land is a paean to the extraordinary human capacity to transmit stories from generation to generation and a novel about stewardship—of books, of our shared planet, and of the human heart.
Anthony Doerr, author of six novels including “All the Light We Cannot See” has won multiple awards and been translated into forty languages. He was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio and lives in Boise, Idaho.
