There are Rivers in the Sky / Elif Shafak. - London : Viking, 2024. - 482, [1] strona ; 23 cm.
From the ruins of great library in Nineveh emerged a poem, the Epic of Gilgamesh, that would infuse the existence of two rivers and bind together three lives.
In 1840 London, Arthur is born beside the stinking, sewage-filled River Thames.
His only chance of escaping destitution is his brilliant memory.
Arthur’s world opens up far beyond the slums, and one book in particular catches his interest: "Nineveh and Its Remains".
In 2014 Turkey, Narin, a ten-year-old Yazidi girl, is diagnosed with a rare disorder that will soon cause her to go deaf.
Before that happens, her grandmother is determined to baptize her in a sacred Iraqi temple.
In 2018 London, the newly divorced Zaleekah, a hydrologist, moves into a houseboat on the Thames to escape her husband.
She had made the decision to take her own life in one month, until a curious book about her homeland changes everything.
A dazzling feat of storytelling, "There Are Rivers in the Sky" entwines these outsiders with a single drop of water, a drop which remanifests across the centuries.
