There are rivers in the sky : a novel Cover Image Book

There are rivers in the sky : a novel / Elif Shafak.

Shafak, Elif, 1971- (author.).

Summary:

"Sweeping across centuries, and stretching from Mesopotamia to London, this is an enchanting new novel by Booker Prize finalist Elif Shafak that conjures a trio of characters living in the shadow of one of the greatest epic poems (The Epid of Gilgamesh) of all time"-- Provided by publisher.
In the ancient city of Nineveh, on the bank of the River Tigris, King Ashurbanipal of Mesopotamia, erudite but ruthless, built a great library that would crumble with the end of his reign. From its ruins, however, emerged a poem, the Epic of Gilgamesh, that would infuse the existence of two rivers and bind together three lives.
