There are Rivers in the Sky
From the visionary storyteller Elif Shafak, author of The Island of Missing Trees, comes a breathtaking epic of connection, belonging, and the stories that flow through time.
There are Rivers in the Sky follows three souls, separated by centuries but bound by the currents of a single river. We meet a Victorian orphan enchanted by the muddy banks of the Thames, a modern-day student in London grappling with a forgotten history, and an ancient girl living at the river's source. Their lives, though worlds apart, are woven together by love, loss, and the timeless pulse of water.
A grand, ambitious, and deeply moving novel, this is historical fiction at its most masterful. It's a book for anyone who believes that human stories, like rivers, never truly disappear—they simply change course.
