In Victorian London, Arthur is born into poverty beside the polluted River Thames, but his extraordinary memory opens the door to a world of books and the lost history of ancient Nineveh. In 2014, Narin, a young Yazidi girl facing the loss of her hearing, travels with her grandmother through increasingly dangerous lands beside the River Tigris. In modern-day London, hydrologist Zaleekhah moves onto a houseboat while struggling with the breakdown of her marriage and questions about her future. As their stories begin to flow together, *There Are Rivers in the Sky* explores memory, identity, cultural erasure, displacement, and humanity’s complicated relationship with water. It’s a sweeping and emotional story about everything history tries to bury—and everything water remembers. *Join Our Book Club Bingo! 💧📚 For November, we’re diving into an ambitious story that flows across different centuries, countries, and lives.
