“The things that look fixed in the world, child - mountains, wealth, empires - their permanence is only an illusion. We believe they will last, but that is only because of the brevity of our own lives.”

pickCloud Cuckoo Land is my favorite read of 2021. It very much reminded me of Cloud Atlas and Ghostwritten by David Mitchell, two of my all time favorites. I loved how the fable was intertwined into all of the stories. This book is a symbolism-lover's dream.

pickCloud Cuckoo Land is a masterpiece about a book called Aethon's story. Setting is Constantinople in the 15th century with 13 year-old Anna who is an orphan. In a small town in present-day Idaho, Zeno, an octogenarian, rehearses 5 children in a play adaptation of Aethon's story. And in a not-so-distant future, on the interstellar ship Argos, Konstance is alone in a vault, copying on scraps of sacking the story of Aethon, told to her by her father.
