There Are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Shafak

3.5

challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Overall, I’m glad I’ve read this & think it will stay with me - however, I found it a slow read & the water droplet felt contrived, attempting to tie together 3 different stories. I felt invested in all three characters & their stories, but jumping between them (including different times & locations), made it disjointed for me & a slower read because of it.
