Blurb:
In One Brief Moment All Eternity is an astonishing new novel by the bestselling,
prize-winning novelist Elif Shafak. Spanning decades and continents, from
revolutionary 19th century France to Istanbul, Egypt and Beirut, it is a profound
meditation on creativity in times of political crisis and war, asking what literature
can hope to offer when the world feels broken. Building a fascinating bridge
between Western prose and Eastern poetry, this story offers a luminous portrait
of the life of an iconic writer, Gustave Flaubert, author of Madame Bovary, told
through the lives of the women – both real and fictional – who shaped him.
