The Page Turners’ April Meeting: There Are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Shafak

Our next book club pick is There Are Rivers in the Sky — a beautifully layered novel that spans centuries and continents, exploring how stories, water, and human lives are deeply interconnected.

Things to consider while reading:

• How does the novel use water and rivers as symbols? What do they represent beyond the physical?
• In what ways are the different timelines and characters connected—emotionally, historically, or thematically?
• How does the book explore cultural memory and storytelling across generations?
• What role does displacement or migration play in shaping identity?
• Did any particular storyline resonate with you more than the others? Why?
• How does the structure (shifting perspectives and timelines) affect your reading experience?

Whether you’ve finished the book or are still making your way through, come join us for a thoughtful and lively discussion.
