When French novelist Gustave Flaubert sits down to write the fate of his famous character Emma Bovary, she suddenly speaks to him, opening the floodgates of memory and interspersing Flaubert’s perspective with that of 30 women from his life.
This “audacious” novel “is the ideal vehicle for Shafak, who delights and often excels in giving voice to anyone and everyone,” The Guardian wrote, and her “powers of narrative invention become a kind of bravura performance, as unexpected, splendidly unlikely connections emerge.” Buy In One Brief Moment All Eternity from your local bookstore.
