He then poisoned her with arsenic. But what if, 175 years later, Emma - and the women history overlooked - could seize the quill from his hands and tell a different story?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn One Brief Moment All Eternity\u003c\/i\u003e is a luminous reinvention of an iconic male writer, told through the eyes of the women - real and fictional - who shaped him: a devoted nursemaid, an Egyptian dancer and a passionate, jealous lover who refuses to be forgotten. Through their voices, visionary author Elif Shafak creates both an intimate portrait of a great artist and an epic meditation on storytelling itself: who gets remembered, who gets erased, and how can literature endure through political upheaval, war and injustice? When the world feels broken, how do we find the hope to carry on?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShafak takes readers on an extraordinary journey through time and space, from Flaubert's unusual childhood in a house that was part home, part hospital, part morgue, to nineteenth-century Paris during the Revolution, and onwards to Istanbul, Cairo, Palestine and Beirut. In this exhilarating tale, the questions at the heart of her work take on a thrilling new urgency: who gets to speak, and what would the silenced have said?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoldly inventive, transporting and illuminating, spanning decades and continents, \u003ci\u003eIn One Brief Moment All Eternity\u003c\/i\u003e is a dazzling love letter to literature, untold stories, neglected communities and the enduring spirit of humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Make place for Elif Shafak on your bookshelf.
