Join multi-award-winning British-Turkish novelist and storyteller Elif Shafak as she discusses her new novel, In One Brief Moment All Eternity, a meditation on creativity in the darkest of times.

In this boldly rendered novel, Elif Shafak imagines in vivid colour the life of legendary French writer Gustave Flaubert and all the women who possessed him—the fictional ones he conjured and the real ones who shaped him—particularly Madame Bovary.

On the heels of her most successful book yet, There Are Rivers in the Sky, Shafak gives us a triumphant new tale that weaves the traditions of the European realist novel with the ethereal, twilight-tinged oral storytelling of the Middle East.
