Object There Are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Shafak

£8.49

The Hay Festival begins next week (running 22 May – 1 June) and in celebration of its programme of the best of literature around the world, The Wick has selected three books by speakers to read now. First up is British Turkish novelist Elif Shafak (in conversation with Kirsty Lang on 25th May), whose latest novel, There Are Rivers in the Sky, was an instant bestseller when it came out last year. It is a tale of love and loss, taking place between the 19th century and today, between the banks of the Tigris and the Thames. A page-turner.
