One of the most acclaimed writers of our time, Elif Shafak returns to Jewish Book Week as her latest acclaimed global bestseller is published in paperback. Winner of the British Academy’s President’s Medal, Shafak’s work has been translated into 56 languages.
Following the Booker Prize-shortlisted 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World and the Sunday Times bestseller The Island of Missing Trees, her new novel, There Are Rivers in the Sky, weaves together an ancient Mesopotamian king, a Victorian mudlark, and contemporary riverside dwellers on the Thames and Tigris—connected by the journey of a single drop of water.
An event from Jewish Book Week 2025.
