Steel City Hangouts 20+ (Sheffield)

Welcome to Steel City Book Club!

Our next book will be 10 Minutes and 38 Seconds in This Strange World by Elif Shafak.

Set in the vibrant yet brutal undercurrents of Istanbul, the novel unfolds in the ten minutes and thirty-eight seconds of consciousness that linger in the mind of Tequila Leila after her death.

Through Leila’s final memories we revisit the defining moments of her life: childhood trauma, unexpected friendships, and the found family who stood by her in a city that could be both tender and unforgiving. As Leila’s closest friends search for her and confront the injustices that shaped her fate, the story expands into a portrait of resilience and love on the margins of society.

Elif Shafak’s novel weaves an intimate, haunting meditation on identity, belonging, and the power of human connection, even in life’s most fragile moments.
