‘It will make you think, cry, rage – and hope. It is Elif Shafak at her
best’ The New Statesman
One of the best loved and most accomplished authors of our time joins us to talk about her latest novel, a sweeping story of love and loss, memory and erasure, hurt and healing set between the 19th century and modern times. The story centres around three characters living on the banks of the River Thames and the River Tigris, their lives all curiously touched by the epic of Gilgamesh and all connected by a single drop of water.
Elif Shafak is an award-winning British-Turkish novelist whose work often explores themes of love, identity and cultural division. The author of 19 books, 12 of which are novels, she is a bestselling author in many countries around the world. . Her previous novel, The Island of Missing Trees, was shortlisted for the Costa Award, British Book Awards, RSL Ondaatje Prize and Women’s Prize for Fiction. 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in this Strange World was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and RSL Ondaatje Prize.
The aim of Ealing Book Festival is to celebrate the joy of reading and to advance engagement and education around literature and reading. Through our events we hope to bring people and communities together; grow audiences for literature; inspire writers and readers of all ages; showcase well-known authors and promote local writers.
