Elif Shafak - You're Booked Archive All-Stars

By Daisy Buchanan

We're delving back into the archives and bringing you another of our favourite episodes. This week we're visiting the beautiful home (including glorious bookshelves with a library ladder that made us green with envy) of Elif Shafak. Elif is a celebrated and award-winning novelist and the most widely read female author in Turkey. She has published many books including the bestselling Island of Missing Trees, The Bastard of Istanbul, The Forty Rules of Love, Three Daughters of Eve and the critically acclaimed 10 Minutes, 38 Seconds in this Strange World. Her new book There Are Rivers in the Sky is released on 8th August. Elif is also an activist advocating for women's rights, LGBT rights and freedom of speech. We talked to her about baklava, politics, Death Metal and stationery obsessions. Find a full list of the books Elif mentioned at our Bookshop.org store.
