In \u003ci\u003eCloud Cuckoo Land\u003c\/i\u003e, Doerr has created a magnificent tapestry of times and places that reflects our vast interconnectedness—with other species, with each other, with those who lived before us, and with those who will be here after we’re gone.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThirteen-year-old Anna, an orphan, lives inside the formidable walls of Constantinople in a house of women who make their living embroidering the robes of priests.

This she reads to her ailing sister as the walls of the only place she has known are bombarded in the great siege of Constantinople.

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.
