*Running Time => 15hrs.*A novel about children on the cusp of adulthood in a broken world, who find resilience, hope, and story.The heroes of 'CLOUD CUCKOO LAND' are trying to figure out the world around them: Anna and Omeir, on opposite sides of the formidable city walls during the 1453 siege of Constantinople; teenage idealist Seymour in an attack on a public library in present day Idaho; and Konstance, on an interstellar ship bound for an exoplanet, decades from now. An ancient text - the story of Aethon, who longs to be turned into a bird so that he can fly to a utopian paradise in the sky - provides solace and mystery to these characters.©2021 Anthony Doerr (P)2021 Simon & Schuster Audio
