Cloud Cuckoo Land - the new novel from the author of the international bestseller All the Light We Cannot See

All the Light We Cannot See won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2015 and is the perfect choice for book clubs. If your reading group is yet to read this deeply moving novel, now is the time! Enter our reading group competition to win copies for your group and download a set of reader’s questions here.

Anthony Doerr’s first novel since the international bestselling All the Light We Cannot See is called Cloud Cuckoo Land and is published at the end of September. Dedicated to ‘the librarians then, now, and in the years to come’, Cloud Cuckoo Land is a beautiful and redemptive novel about stewardship – of the book, of the Earth, of the human heart.
