There are Rivers in the Sky: The beautiful Sunday Times bestseller from the author of The Island of Missing Trees & BBC Between the Covers Book Club pick Hardcover – 8 Aug. 2024

One of the most beautifully written books I’ve read in a while. The descriptions are so good you can almost taste, smell and touch them. It is as all Elif Shafak’s books written from the heart but also researched prolifically. Interesting and informative

I loved this book. She is one of my favourite authors. The characters are so well drawn. She’s one of those gifted writers who can slip all kinds of knowledge and information into you, without you taxing you at all.

This is a story that needed to be told & I am left awestruck & horrified in equal measure that this latest genocide occurred in 2014 & I knew nothing about it !!!How is that even possible & yet despite our many channels of media we are only told what the “powers that be “ decide to tell us us !!! It shocks & appalls me that 3,000 Yazidi women & girls are missing into slavery now !!! How is this possible ????This is a beautifully written story of love & passion, compassion & total brutality …. We need to be aware of these stories of how people are abused in the name of religious beliefs cloaked in greed & ignorance. I wish I had the vocabulary to more eloquently express how this book has left me feeling so if you reading this review I urge you to read this book ….

Phenomenal book. Could not put this book down. Complex storyline well written that touches on important topics. Highly recommend! Epic!

A fabulous read and something a little different. Will definitely be reading other books from this author.

One of the best books I've read in a long time.

The characters are predictable and one-dimensional, and the writing style uninteresting. The intertwining of the stories comes across as forced. Credit is due to the author for shedding light on the Yazidi massacre—a story that really needs to be told.

Very well written, very emotional
