In One Brief Moment All Eternity
In this boldly rendered novel, a meditation on creativity in the darkest of times, Elif Shafak imagines in vivid color the life of legendary French writer Gustave Flaubert and all the women who possessed him--the fictional ones he conjured and the real ones who shaped him--particularly Madame Bovary. Long considered one of the world's most influential writers, Gustave Flaubert paved the way for generations of novelists to come, and no protagonist of his is more indelibly immortalized than Madame Emma Bovary, whose tempestuous-yet-quotidian existence has captured the minds of nearly two centuries of readers. But Flaubert wrote Emma into being during one of the most chaotic and transformative eras in French history, replete with war, famine, and violence, and one of his own most troubled periods, during which he faced censorship and imprisonment. With remarkable discipline, Flaubert forged onwards, unstoppably embodying the drive and need to create during times of immense personal and political transformation. On the heels of her most successful book yet, There Are Rivers in the Sky, Shafak has given us a triumphant new tale that weaves the traditions of the European realist novel with the ethereal, twilight-tinged oral storytelling of the Middle East. It is a novel fired by the questions long haunting Shafak's work--Who gets to speak, and what would the silenced have said?--and shot through with a transcendent lightness and sensuality, each chapter tinged with different prisms of hues that evoke the vibrancy of Flaubert's epileptic episodes. It's a tale suffused by that feeling which comes when you are grabbed by a story and a character and plunged into the life of another, tumbling through space and time from the reader's present to Flaubert's 19th-century France. "Madame Bovary, c'est moi," Flaubert is alleged to have said. But indeed, Flaubert was many others, and now, for the first time, these female ghosts--Flaubert's nanny, his mistress, a corpse, a half-drawn character--finally speak, their stories pouring forth with a tenderness and agony that will renew one's faith in the transformational power of art, even in the grimmest of times. One of the most breathtaking and inventive novels of Shafak's oeuvre, in the vein of Colm Tóibín and Maggie O'Farrell's literary reimaginations, this book bridges worlds--between East and West, past and present, intellectual and spiritual, real and imaginary, and even hope and despair, dancing delicately on the knife's edge of each.

There Are Rivers in the Sky
From the Booker Prize finalist, author of The Island of Missing Trees, an enchanting new tale about three characters living along two great rivers, all connected by a single drop of water. - "Make place for Elif Shafak on your bookshelf [and] in your heart. You won't regret it."--Arundhati Roy, winner of the Booker Prize In the ancient city of Nineveh, on the bank of the River Tigris, King Ashurbanipal of Mesopotamia, erudite but ruthless, built a great library that would crumble with the end of his reign. From its ruins, however, emerged a poem, the Epic of Gilgamesh, that would infuse the existence of two rivers and bind together three lives. In 1840 London, Arthur is born beside the stinking, sewage-filled River Thames. With an abusive, alcoholic father and a mentally ill mother, Arthur's only chance of escaping destitution is his brilliant memory. When his gift earns him a spot as an apprentice at a leading publisher, Arthur's world opens up far beyond the slums, and one book in particular catches his interest: Nineveh and Its Remains. In 2014 Turkey, Narin, a ten-year-old Yazidi girl, is diagnosed with a rare disorder that will soon cause her to go deaf. Before that happens, her grandmother is determined to baptize her in a sacred Iraqi temple. But with the rising presence of ISIS and the destruction of the family's ancestral lands along the Tigris, Narin is running out of time. In 2018 London, the newly divorced Zaleekah, a hydrologist, moves into a houseboat on the Thames to escape her husband. Orphaned and raised by her wealthy uncle, Zaleekah had made the decision to take her own life in one month, until a curious book about her homeland changes everything. A dazzling feat of storytelling, There Are Rivers in the Sky entwines these outsiders with a single drop of water, which remanifests across the centuries. A source of life and harbinger of death, rivers--the Tigris and the Thames--transcend history, transcend fate: "Water remembers. It is humans who forget."
