Note that when I first say British Library I meant to say British Museum as I do later in the video.

It’s one thing to love a novel but another to learn and grow from a novel and this one did it for me!

[cindyhaiken]

The buzz around this book is astonishing.

[maureencalder]

I also recently 'gushed' about this brilliant book at my local book group. Elif Shafak should be lorded as a giant in the literary world. I have loved everything she has written.

[karenmoore]

Just reserved it at my library. 36 in front of me 😢. I loved The Island of Missing Trees.

[markhnk]

I already have the book and a ticket for a reading with her, and now I'm very much looking forward to reading it.

[cindyfreese]

I suspected when you said epic and emotionally involved with the characters, that you just read Shafak’s book. I adored this book!

[HannahsBooks]

I am so excited to read this one! How wonderful to hear you discuss it.

[emmavd]

Thank you, Eric!🌷I loved The Island of Missing Trees! There are Rivers in the Sky has now joined my wishlist. It sounds fascinating.

[antonypearce]

Thank you for such an insightful review! I was a bit put off by the heft of this novel but it’s now shooting up the list of must reads this year! It’s going to be a busy Autumn!

[danellegerber]

I love her writing!! Elif Shafak has empathy for her characters and writes beautifully.

[bianquita]

Thanks for your review. I'll add it to my TBR.

[hippiejane]

Thank you. Just added this to my list!

[dawnjones]

The Island of Missing Trees is also wonderful. Same author.

[jamesduggan]

Sounds very good, and am glad you liked. Currently I'm reading something to which you could relate: Henry James' Portrait of a Lady, which spends a considerable amount of time discussing the impact on Americans who choose to relocate to (London) England. Thx

[MoariIsaac]

Currently reading this book.I'm really enjoying it.
