Cloud Cuckoo Land

Anthony Doerr

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER AND NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST


'A dazzling epic of love, war and the joy of books' Guardian


'There is magic in this place ... You just have to sit and breathe and wait and it will find you'


Fifteenth-century Constantinople. Present day Idaho. The future, and humanity's last hope.

Across time and space, five young dreamers are bound by a single ancient text. Together, they tell a story of a world in peril; of the power of words, of resilience, and of hope against all odds.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of All the Light We Cannot See returns with a heart-breaking, magnificent epic of human connection and a love letter to storytelling itself.

'Wonderment and despair, love and destruction and hope - all find their place in its sumptuously plotted pages' Observer

'Ingenious, hopeful and totally absorbing' Financial Times

'This engagingly written, big-hearted book is a must-read' Daily Mirror
