There are Rivers in the Sky

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

There are Rivers in the Sky is an enchanting epic, told through the vantage of a single raindrop, where the sacred mysteries of water, science, and poetry collide.

This rich, sweeping novel is set between the 19th century and modern times. It explores themes of love and loss, memory and erasure, hurt and healing. At its heart are three enchanting characters living on the banks of the River Thames and the River Tigris, their lives all curiously touched by the epic of Gilgamesh.

The interplay of these rivers with the characters' lives reflects a profound connection between the past and present, woven together through the currents of history and legend.
