Cloud Cuckoo Land was great. If you don’t like SF, don’t worry, it’s not very “science-fictiony” if I can coin a phrase. Yes, one of the interleaved stories is set inside a spaceship, but just think of it as a mystery story: why is Konstance locked alone in this room, and will she be able to escape?

CCL is certainly high on my list of best books read this year in any genre (I’ve read 20 so far). Given how good All the Light We Cannot See was, too, I’m going to be looking out for anything which Doerr writes in future.
