Cloud Cuckoo Land, Anthony Doerr (4.0)
Readers tend to like books about libraries. This book celebrates libraries, librarians and books across time, culture and technology. There are several ‘main’ characters followed in a spectrum that goes from 1400’s Constantinople to a space-ship sometime in the future. A book written in the 400’s is the constant which ties all the stories together. I was a little worried that a 600+ page book might drag at times but found it to be a very quick and enjoyable read. While the reader needs to pay attention to the character and timeframe (both jump around frequently), patience will be paid off as all will be beautifully brought together at the end of a delightful journey.
