The Book Circle will meet again on Wednesday, March 16, at 3 p.m. on Zoom, to uncover the inventiveness of Anthony Doerr’s much-anticipated novel, Cloud Cuckoo Land, a followup to his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, All the Light We Cannot See.

                        Cloud Cuckoo Land is a book about a book as told through sets of characters in past, present and future time periods. Doerr’s cast includes an orphan girl and farmer’s boy in Constantinople in the 1400s, an environmental activist setting off a bomb in a library in 2020, and a girl on a mission to a distant planet in the not-so-distant future. An ancient Greek tale and an old shepherd on a search for utopia intertwines them.

The book circle meets monthly to explore works about Jews and by Jewish writers. For information, email the shul at ctigreenport@gmail.com with a message for Susan Rosenstreich, coordinator of the group.
