#WhereAreYouMonday

Mesopotamia 631 BC
London 1840
Turkey 2014

How else could I experience theses places in these times if it weren‘t for stories? How bereft my life would be without books. How thankful I am to be a reader!

Another beautifully written novel by Elif Shafak. Humanity is united by water as this story illustrates in the telling of Arthur who lives near the River Thames in the 1840s, Narin who lives by the River Tigris in 2014, Zaleekhah who lives in a houseboat on the River Thames in 2018.

I loved this one. It‘s about how one drop of water can connect us. It‘s told via the unique voices of three people. Arthur who born very near the Thames, Narin who lives near the Tigris and Zaleekah who is renting a houseboat on the Thames. Beautifully written and very moving at times, I was very immersed in these characters‘ lives and found it a page turner.

A library book. I loved The Island of Missing Trees by this author so looking forward to this one.

#roll100 another absolutely beautiful novel from Elif Shafa - she has such a talent for description and drawing you into the lives of her characters. Heartbreaking that so much of this is based on true events.

Nonfiction about an expedition to kayak the Tsangpo Gorge in Tibet. It‘s a wild story and about more than just the river.

Loved this story. Human connection through water. Told through 3 perspectives, set on the banks of the River Thames and the Tigris in 2014, 2018 and 1840 (and a bit beyond). My favorite character was King Arthur of the Sewers and Slums. Not one I‘ll soon forget!

Hooked_on_books I loved this, too. I thought the way she brought it all together in the end was just brilliant. It kinda gave me goosebumps. 2mo
