HISTORY THROUGH LITERATURE

Water is essential to all life: at one and the same time, it is comfort, relief and power. This British-Turkish writer has constructed a spell-binding novel connecting a poem (The Epic of Gilgamesh), two great rivers (Tigris and Thames) and three lives (Arthur, Narin and Zaleekah) to a single drop of water. We move through time and across continents, a tapestry of life is woven by this single drop of water.
