There are Rivers in the Sky is the brand new novel from Turkish-British author Elif Shafak. The book is a “love letter to water”, but also a reflection on the climate crisis and the increasing issues with fresh water supply around the world. In this conversation with Róisín Ingle, Shafak explains how she uses storytelling to address global issues and why her writing will always remain political. She also speaks about her nomadic upbringing, being raised by two strong women and her surprising love of melodic death metal.
