Manchester Literature Festival Presents An Afternoon with Elif Shafak

Internationally-acclaimed novelist Elif Shafak returns to celebrate her extraordinary new novel, In One Brief Moment All Eternity.

The luminous story spans decades and continents, from revolutionary 19th-century France to Istanbul, Egypt and Beirut. It explores creativity and resistance in times of political upheaval and war. Shafak reimagines the life of Gustave Flaubert through the real and fictional women who shaped him.
