About the Book…
There Are Rivers in the Sky is a rich, sweeping novel set between the 19th century and modern times, about love and loss, memory and erasure, hurt and healing, centred around three enchanting characters living on the banks of the River Thames and the River Tigris – their lives all curiously touched by the epic of Gilgamesh.
Our five star review is over on the blog.
‘A rich tapestry of themes are woven throughout the time periods and the characters with a strong emphasis on parental abandonment and neglect, within all three timelines. Popular historical figures are brought to life, and both historic and current wars are exposed. A significant spotlight is on the Yazidi culture and the devastating persecution of the community is a prime example of the topical nature of this book.’ Tea Leaves & Reads
