Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr

Julie’s review;

Anthony Doerr at his finest, a cast of characters you get to know in depth; all their qualities and human flaws are revealed  through their stories which stretch across a range of time frames and settings. A celebration of the power of stories to connect us through time and space with pervading themes of family, love, hope and redemption.

I emerged from this book feeling that I had witnessed the vividly described events, had inhabited these places and met the characters within who had become like old friends, such is the power of Doerr’s storytelling.

Fans of Anthony Doerr’s earlier books will certainly not be disappointed by this epic and wide ranging tale and if you are yet to discover his writing, this is a wonderful place to start!
