Title: There are rivers in the sky
Author: Elif Shafak
Through the journey of a single drop of water across time, the book explores the stories of three people across countries and cultures: an Englishman born by the River Thames in the 19th century, a Yazidi girl who lives by the Tigris River in 2014, and a Turkish English hydrologist in England in 2018. The book explores themes of the cyclical and interconnected nature of life and water, the impact of ancient texts on modern lives, and cultural plunder in historical discovery and archaeological excavation.
