About the Book:

From Elif Shafak, the Booker and Women's Prize shortlisted, internationally bestselling author of There Are Rivers in the Sky and 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World, comes with In One Brief Moment All Eternity. Shafak is an award-winning British Turkish novelist whose work has been translated into fifty-seven languages, and she was appointed President of the Royal Society of Literature in 2025.

This novel reimagines the life of Gustave Flaubert, the famous French writer who created Madame Bovary. But instead of focusing on him, the story is told through the voices of the women who shaped his life—both real and fictional, from a devoted nursemaid to an Egyptian dancer to a literary heroine who refuses to be silenced. What if these women could take the pen from his hands and tell their own story?.

The book travels through time and place, from nineteenth-century France to Istanbul, Egypt, and Beirut. It asks big questions about who gets remembered and who gets forgotten, and how art and literature can give us hope even when the world feels broken.
