About the event
There's plenty to celebrate with the launch of BookBar's new Chelsea shop, Independent Bookshop Week and the paperback publication of Elif Shafak's latest novel, There Are Rivers In The Sky. So join us in conversation with Women's Prize and Booker-shortlisted Elif Shafak at BookBar Chelsea, get your book signed and meet other book-lovers.
There Are Rivers In The Sky is set between two continents over two thousand years and is full of her rich and whimsicle storytelling, telling the stories of Arthur, a Victorian child, fascinated by stories of Ancient Mesopotamia; Narin, a teenage girl who journeys from contemporary Turkey to Iraq; and Zaleekhah, a hearbroken hydrologist living on the River Thames.
Doors and the bar will open at 6:30pm for a 7:30pm start. The conversation will finish at 8:30pm followed by a signing.
