Présentation
One drop of water connects three lives across time: a poor boy in Victorian London born the day an ancient poem resurfaces, a Yazidi girl by the Tigris whose world is threatened, and a hydrologist in present-day London. Following water from raindrop to river and back, Elif Shafak weaves myth, history and science into a lyrical meditation on memory, exile and what endures. Ambitious and tender, spanning Mesopotamia to the Thames, There Are Rivers in the Sky braids the fate of the epic of Gilgamesh with the persecuted and the dispossessed. Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2025. Édition en anglais.
