BookBar is bringing the social side of reading to the Saatchi Gallery with a conversation with author and activist Elif Shafak, in partnership with the Chelsea Arts Festival. Following their sold-out event at BookBar Chelsea in June, BookBar founder Chrissy Ryan and Elif Shafak return for one more night to discuss Elif’s latest novel, There Are Rivers in the Sky. Set between two continents over two thousand years, There Are Rivers in the Sky is full of Elif’s rich storytelling, following Arthur, a Victorian child, fascinated by stories of Ancient Mesopotamia; Narin, a teenage girl who journeys from contemporary Turkey to Iraq; and Zaleekhah, a heartbroken hydrologist living on the River Thames.
