The new novel from the Booker-shortlisted, internationally bestselling author of There Are Rivers in the Sky and 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World.

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 womenโ€”both real and fictionalโ€”who shaped him.
