Elif Şafak Instagram - Women do not need their bodies controlled, their hair or clothes judged, their behaviour constantly checked and their morals policed and their freedoms suppressed and their voices silenced by patriarchy. We want basic human rights, freedom, the right to be ourselves and to tell our stories, and dignity— the dignity that every human being fully and equally deserves. But misogynists want to erase women from the streets, from public space, from work and school and society, they want to erase women from life. Whether it is the Taliban in Afghanistan or the bigots in Turkey or the fanatics in Iran or the fundamentalists anywhere in the world today, they have this in common: They want to erase women, attack and destroy women’s rights. My deepest respect to the women and youth of Iran fighting for equality, dignity, women’s rights and democracy. It has been a year since #mahsaamini was killed. Never forget. Stand in solidarity with Iranian women #jinjiyanazadi #womenlifefreedom #womensrightsarehumanrights #womanlifefreedom #genderequalityforall #womensrightsmatter #smashthepatriarchy #globalsisterhood #intersectionalfeminism (pictures @sarahkessler.autorin @dwnews @nazaninboniadi @amnestyuk )📚📚📚 Tam bir sene oldu  #mahsaamini öldürüleli İran’da. İster Afganistan’daki Taliban rejimi olsun, ister Türkiye’deki yobazlar olsun, ister İran’daki bağnazlar olsun,,isterse dünyanın herhangi bir yerindeki benzer zihniyet… hepsinin ortak bir noktası var: kadınlara ve kadın haklarına düşmanlar. kadınları sokaklardan ve okullardan ve iş hayatından ve tüm kamusal alandan tamamen silmek istiyorlar. kadına tahammülleri yok. Eşitliğe tahammülleri yok. kadın düşmanlığı tüm yobazların ortak yanı. eşitliğe, özgürlüğe ve demokrasiye inanan herkese ve bilhassa İran’daki kadınlara ve gençlere yürek dolusu sevgiyle, dayanışmayla #kadınhakları #kadınyaşamözgürlük #eşitlik #kadınlarkadınlarıdestekliyor
Elif Şafak Instagram - Silver Bestseller Award for The Island of Missing Trees. 

When I first started writing this novel, and I realised  there was going to be a tree at its centre and the tree was going to talk, I was terrified. It was a big risk. If the idea of a “talking tree” did not work, the entire novel could collapse, but I wanted to take this literary risk because I kept hearing the voice of the fig tree inside my head and inside my heart, day and night, and I believed in her, and I wanted to honour the stories of nature, alongside the stories of human beings, both joyful and painful. So for me, this is not an award about “best selling”, it’s not about numbers. For me it primarily means that the voice of the fig tree touched the hearts of many others and for that I am deeply grateful. #theislandofmissingtrees #booksarethebestgifts #writersandpoets #womenwhowrite #literaryfiction #fictionwriters #booksbooksbooks #elifshafak #bookclubstagram #readinguk #readwithme #booksuggestions 📚📚📚 romanım #kayıpağaçlaradası İngiltere'de Gümüş Edebiyat Ödülüne layık görüldü, çok teşekkür ediyorum bilhassa okurlara

Elif Şafak Instagram - I have some exciting news to share. Here is the US cover of my new novel #thereareriversinthesky My heartfelt thanks to the amazing team at @aaknopf for this most beautiful design and the pure love and dedication. This is the story of:
Three beguiling characters.
Two enchanting rivers.
One ancient poem. A magical tale spanning cultures, centuries and continents, all curiously connected by the Epic of Gilgamesh and a single, tiny drop of water. Thank you from the heart to the amazing @freemanreads cover design Linda Huang @lindahuang.me @penguinrandomhouse @jonnygeller @randomhouse @curtisbrowncreative #booklover #readmorewomen #newbookrelease #newbooktoread #booksarelove #worldliterature #literaryfiction #elifshafak #riversoftheworld #riversofinstagram #librosnuevos #booksarehome 📚📚📚 Yeni kapak, yeni roman, hiç eskimeyen bir tutku edebiyat. Okumak, yazmak, edebiyata ve sanata yürekten inanmak, birbirimize tutunmak... kalpten kalbe uzanan köprüler kurmak harflerden, kelimelerden. Ben Türkiye'deki okurlarımı çok düşünüyorum ve çok seviyorum.
Elif Şafak Instagram - May humanity, empathy, sisterhood, dignity, beauty and love rise in the new year. May we reconnect with each other beyond borders and may we reconnect with nature, our planet, our only home. We cannot afford to disconnect. Wishing you all a happy, peaceful and inspiring New Year. We believe in the life changing and life affirming power of literature. 
Happy New Year to all. #thereareriversinthesky #writersandpoets #womenwhowritefiction #thefortyrulesoflove 📚📚📚 insanlığa inancımızı ayakta tutabilmek ve daha iyi bir dünya kurma tutkumuzu yitirmemek için sanata, edebiyata ihtiyacımız var.

Elif Şafak Instagram - "Water remembers.
It is humans who forget."
Dear friends, dear literature lovers, I am very excited to share with you the UK cover of my new novel There Are Rivers in the Sky #thereareriversinthesky There are so many beautiful details in this design, lovingly chosen patterns from both Victorian England and ancient Mesopotamia. The River Thames and the River Tigris. My heartfelt thanks to the amazing @vikingbooksuk @penguinukbooks This novel is the story of 3 unusual characters, 2 iconic rivers and 1 ancient poem, the Epic of Gilgamesh. 3, 2, 1 and they are all connected through a single, small drop of water. #newfiction #fictionbooks #gilgamesh #epicofgilgamesh #riversoftheworld #booksarelove #bookcoverart #literaryfiction #newbookalert 📚📚📚 Sevgili kitap dostları, edebiyatseverler, bugün İngiltere'de yeni romanımın kapağını paylaştı yayıncılar ve kitapevleri. O kadar çok emek ve özen ve incelik var ki bu kapakta, teşekkür ediyorum yürekten. 19. yüzyıl İngilteresinden binlerce sene öncesinin Mezopotamya'sına uzanan motifleri kullanarak hazırladılar kapağı. Bu roman 3 sıradışı karakterin, 2 muazzam nehirin ve çok ama çok eski 1 şiirin hikayesi. 3, 2, 1. Her şey birbirine ufacık, bir damla su ile bağlı #yenikitap #yenikitaplar #okumaönerisi #kitapsevdası

Elif Şafak Instagram - In 2022 Save The Children found out that 80% of children in Gaza suffered from deep emotional distress. Now? Even worse. Children are carrying the deepest traumas. As international community we have to push for humanitarian corridors, immediate ceasefire, a lasting peace, we need to come together to heal the wounds in the region. We have to contribute to healing, not to hatred. Children are traumatised. Children are dying. Please share any reliable good humanitarian international organisations that you know of. Let’s amplify good and positive and humanitarian efforts to heal the deepest wounds. (Photo via @npr ) #humanityfirst @savechildrenuk @savethechildren 📚📚📚 2022 senesinde Save The Children tarafından yapılan bir araştırma Gazze‘deki çocukların %80 inin çok ciddi ve derin duygusal bunalımlar taşıdıklarını ortaya koymuştu. Ve şimdi bu rakam tabii ki çok çok daha korkunç. büyük travmalar geçiriyor çocuklar. hepimizin sorumluluğu var uluslararası kamuoyu olarak. Şiddet değil, nefret değil, iyiliğe barışa iyileşmeye dair olmalı bütün çabalarımız ve söylemlerimiz. bunu çocuklara borçluyuz
Elif Şafak Instagram - At the British Museum, this was an extraordinary event with the great Mary Beard. Flanked by remarkable lamassu sculptures, we talked about my new novel #thereareriversinthesky We talked about some of the central themes in the book, including cultural heritage and memory, and how these massive sculptures of Ancient Mesopotamian civilisations have ended up in the British museum. We discussed at length how leading museums today need to engage in the important debate about the complexities and mistakes of the past and how they also need to actively engage in finding a new inclusive narrative and a constructive way forward with regards to the future of these beautiful artefacts. We talked about some of the most complex and urgent and universal issues, including questions about cultural preservation, repatriation and international collaboration. Literature can be a calm and nuanced space to open up the most pressing issues of our times. Thank you for this magical evening. Being in the presence of objects so impossibly old was profoundly inspiring.

Elif Şafak Instagram - I read the news from Gaza and the refugee camp with a very heavy heart, with immense sorrow. My heart goes out to all those innocent children caught up in this horrific war and violence, children who have nothing to do with politics. This week this powerful article was published in @guardian It is written by an amazing Afghan writer and women’s rights activist @zarlasht_halaimzai who tells us about what it was like to experience bombs and rockets as a child in Kabul, #Afghanistan. The horror and the trauma of enduring war through a child’s eyes. Thank you @zarlasht_halaimzai for writing and sharing. We urgently need humanitarian solidarity and aid. #humanityfirst #humankind 📚📚📚 bombalara, şiddete, savaşa masum bir çocuğun tanıklığı… bu önemli ve çarpıcı yazı The Guardian gazetesinde çıktı. Afgan yazar ve kadın hakları savunucusu @zarlasht_halaimzai tarafından kaleme alındı, kendi çocukluğundan ve Afganistan’da yaşadıklarından yola çıkarak savaşın masum çocukları nasıl ömür boyu travma altında bıraktığını anlattı. Gazze’de yaşanan yıkım ve acıyı büyük üzüntü ve çaresizlik içinde takip ederken muhakkak okunması gereken bir yazı olduğunu düşünüyorum #insanlık

Elif Şafak Instagram - 10 000 children were killed in 100 days in Gaza. Numbers do not fully express the depth of the trauma, the suffering, the immense sadness, the cycle of grief. Each “number” was someone’s most beloved son or daughter. I know many people across the world struggle to find the right words but we have to emphasize that always and always civilian lives must be protected. Children have to be protected. Humanity first. Coexistence is possible. Peace is possible. Love has to be stronger than hatred. Ceasefire now. (Photo credit @guardian ) @savethechildren @savechildrenuk 📚📚📚 100 günde 10 000 çocuk öldü Gazze’de. Rakamlarla konuşmak, rakamlarla anlatmak mümkün değil yaşanan travmanın boyutunu. Her bir “istatistik” bir can demek, birinin biricik evladı demek, çok büyük bir acı ve travma. Ateşkes. Ateşkes. Barış mümkün olmalı, olabilmeli.

Elif Şafak Instagram - United Nations today warns of a massive humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza as “1.1 million people cannot be relocated without devastating humanitarian consequences”. My heart hurts, my heart breaks for innocent children in #Gaza caught up in the midst of violence and war.
Elif Şafak Instagram - When a library is destroyed it is not only books, not only pages and words that are lost forever, it is also cultural memory, cultural heritage, the precious stories of ancestors. More than 18 000 people have been killed in Gaza, thousands of children were killed in this horrific war and indiscriminate bombing. The main library in Gaza is also completely destroyed. Humanity needs to demand ceasefire.

Elif Şafak Instagram - I struggle to find the words to write. A young, brilliant Ugandan female athlete was murdered in cold blood in Kenya by a man whose cruelty knew no bounds. The media coverage has been deeply problematic, putting women, once again, under the microscope. This was a horrific case of misogyny, hatred and violence against women and #femicide It is not a stand-alone crime. The Kenyan Parliament needs to urgently criminalise femicide. All countries around the world must do the same. Please remember her name with love and respect. May you be surrounded by love #rebeccacheptegei #violenceagainstwomen 📚📚📚 söyleyecek söz bulmakta zorlanıyorum. Dünya çapında başarılı bir atlet, gurur duyulacak bir sporcu, Kenya'da eski erkek arkadaşı tarafından üzerine benzin dökülüp ateşe verilerek katledildi. Bu korkunç kadın düşmanlığı, bu zorbalık tek başına bir hadise değil. Dünya basınında haber verilirken büyüteç hep kadının üzerindeydi; katil zorba erkeğin üzerinde değil.  Kenya'da parlamento kadına yönelik şiddet ve cinayetlerin ağır cezalar alması için yasaları değiştirmek zorunda. Tabi ki bu sadece Kenya'yı ilgilendiren bir kriz değil, bütün dünyanın ve Türkiye'nin bu adımları acilen atması çok önemli. Bıkmadan usanmadan #kadınayönelikşiddetehayır #istanbulsözleşmesiyaşatır

Elif Şafak Instagram - Imprisoned for defending #genderequality and #womensrights for supporting most basic and universal human rights. I find it very important that the brave and remarkable Narges Mohammadi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Elif Şafak Instagram - A much loved Palestinian bookshop in East Jerusalem was raided by the police in Israel and the booksellers were arrested and books were confiscated. This is unacceptable, totally wrong but it did not get enough attention in international media. Bookshops are among our last remaining spaces of free speech, cultural dialogue, empathy and connectivity. While I am glad that the bookseller Mahmood Muna and his young nephew were released today, I find it important that we raise our voices also for cultural spaces, bookshops and libraries. They must be protected and respected. I know this sounds like a "luxury" amidst such immense human suffering , but protecting booksellers and bookshops is important not only for a small literary community but whole humanity. I am attaching a statement put out by the Edinburgh Book Festival that explains in further detail what happened @edbookfest 📚📚📚 Kudüs'te çok sevilen Filistinli bir kitapevine İsrail polisinin baskın yapması, kitapçıları tutuklaması, kitaplara el koyup suç unsuru muamelesi yapması kabul edilemez, yanlış ve hazin. Bunca acı elem ve ölüm arasında kitapevlerini konuşmak zor ama kütüphanelere, kültürel ve edebi alanlara ve kitapevlerine sahip çıkmak önemli.

Elif Şafak Instagram - This video touched me deeply. Maybe because I, too, was raised by a single mother, I too grew up without a father. Or maybe because we are immigrants. We understand what it feels like to be in several places at the same time. His name is Ugur, in Turkish. What a beautiful human being. If anyone knows him please give him my warmest wishes, I hope people will support him and he will manage to buy that house for his mum. Watch this video by @modelstrangers #immigrantstories #dubliners #dublinstreets #immigrantswelcome #citizensoftheworld (ps. after posting this, he sent me a very kind message with his Instagram handle, so you can find him here @mr.kucur ) 📚📚📚 bu güzel video beni çok etkiledi, belki ben de babasız büyüdüğüm için, belki ben de tek başına çalışan bir anne tarafından yetiştirildiğim için…. Ya da belki göçmen olduğumuz, gurbeti anladığımız için… İrlanda’ya göç eden Uğur’u tanıyan varsa, dilerim yolu açık olur, hak ettiği desteği bulur ve annesine o çok istediği evi almayı başarır, yürekten sevgilerimi iletmek istedim #hikayeler

Elif Şafak Instagram - This is the famous Sycamore Gap Tree—it is an iconic tree, much loved and treasured. It was at least 300 years old. Imagine all the history it has witnessed! And it was also known as Robin Hood Tree, ever since it was featured in the film. This gorgeous, beautiful tree that held so many stories and memories was felled in a deliberate act of vandalism. They came, they killed the tree and then ran away. It just broke my heart. Why this hatred towards nature? The earth feeds us. The Mother Tree. Thank you @robgmacfarlane for sharing your words. #booksandnature #ourplanetourhome #writersandpoets 📚📚📚 Tam 300 senelik bir ağaç bu—Robin Hood ağacı. filmlerde yer almış, hakkında kitaplar makaleler yazılmış. 3 asır boyu kimbilir nelere tanık olmuş. İngiltere’nin en meşhur ağacı olarak biliniyordu dün birisi ya da birileri gelip sırf canları istedi diye ağacı kesivermiş. İnsanoğlu neden böyle? Doğaya bu hınç, bu düşmanlık neden? #ağaçlar #doğakatliamı #insanlık

Thank you to everyone who came to @hatchardspiccadilly to celebrate #thereareriversinthesky It was truly wonderful to see you all. Afterwards many people told me there was such a loving energy in the room, both gentle and strong. I don't have photos of everyone who was there, I'd have loved to, I'll be sharing the ones I have received, I will be sharing them with love. #bookloversworld #literaturelovers #womenwhowrite #writersandpoets #newbookrelease #newfiction #literaryfiction #literaryfictionbooks 📚📚📚 dünkü kitap lansmanı o kadar güzel ve içten, sevgi dolu bir akşamdı ki yüreğimde yeri apayrı, çok teşekkür ediyorum gelen herkese.

Elif Şafak Instagram - “Never be ashamed of your tears. Cry, and everyone knows you are alive.” Have you read the story of Tequila Leila? #10minutes38secondsinthisstrangeworld Thank you so much for this beautiful and creative video and for your heartwarming words. My handbags are also full of stuff! @fabmusealina #booksaremybag #booksaremagic #bookstagram #elifshafak #booksbooksbooks #bookclubpick #favouritereads #fictionlovers 📚📚📚 “hayatta hiçbir zaman gözyaşlarından utanma…” Tekila Leyla’nın hikayesinden. Bir okurum tasarlamış ve paylaşmış bu güzel videoyu, 10 dakika 38 saniye romanından sevdiği cümlelerin altını çizerek, çok teşekkür ederim size #ondakikaotuzsekizsaniye #okumaklazım  #elifşafak #okudukçabüyürinsan #okuduklarım #okumakiyileştirir
Elif Şafak Instagram - Güzel gülüşlü, ceylan bakışlı çocuk... #Narin Günlerdir ne yazacağımı bilemiyorum, o kadar öfkeliyim ki... o kadar öfkeliyiz ki.... Boş sloganlara ya da hiçbir etkisi olmayan kuru laflara, tamtakır vaatlere ihtiyacımız yok. Bu  ülkenin, memleketimizin kadınları ve kız çocukları sadece sokakta değil, asıl en güvende olmaları gereken yerlerde, yani evlerinde, aile içinde tehlike altındalar. Kadınlara ve çocuklara yönelik şiddet en acil gündem maddesi olmak zorunda. Hepimize habire "kutsal" diye dayattığınız aile yapılarını dürüstlükle konuşmak zorundayız. Güzelim çocukları koruyabilmek için, kadınları koruyabilmek için, daha fazla eksilmemek  için, Narin'in değerli hatırası için, artık yeter! Bugün sadece suçluları en ağır şekil cezalandırmak yetmez, bu güdük yasaları da değiştirmek zorundayız. Tüm bir toplum için öncelikli vicdan meselesi olmak zorunda. Kadın ve çocuklara yönelik şiddetin tesadüfi ya fa fevri değil, sistematik olduğunu görün artık! #istanbulsözleşmesiyaşatır #kadınaşiddet #istanbulsözleşmesi #çocukhakları 📚📚📚 Her name was Narin, only 8 years old. I have been struggling to find the words. I feel so angry. The women of Turkey feel so angry. Violence against children and violence against women in Turkey do not solely come from the streets and strangers as it has been taught to us, it so often happens in the very place where women and children are supposed to be the safest: within the family. We have to talk about the family structures and oppressions. We have the change these broken old laws and adopt a new progressive legislation to protect victims of abuse and violence.
Elif Şafak Instagram - Books and dogs…. Love them both. In The Guardian, “Sathnam Sanghera, Elif Shafak, Sarah Waters and more make their reading resolutions for 2024” I am preparing an eclectic reading list guided by the flow of rivers. This year I have been working on my new novel There Are Rivers in the Sky. Writing about rivers and floods, immersing myself in the mysteries of water, made me appreciate how connected we all are across borders. @guardian #writersandpoets #writersworld #booksarelove #readingrecommendations #elifshafak #theislandofmissingtrees #10minutes38secondsinthisstrangeworld #thebastardofistanbul #thefortyrulesoflove #guardianbooks #bookloversunite #fictionkin (photo thanks to @jooneywoodward )📚📚📚 The Guardian gazetesinde #kitaptavsiyeleri #okumaköşesi #yazarlar #yazarlarvekitaplar #edebiyataşkı #okumakiptiladır

Elif Şafak Instagram - Unutmadım, unutmak mümkün değil. #6şubatdepremi “Kimsesiz” değildi o, birilerinin evladı, canı, kardeşi, komşusuydu. Yaşasaydı ne kadar önemli işler yapacaktı o kız çocuğu. Hayalleri, hikayeleri vardı. İnsanların sadece birer rakama dönüştürülmesine veya kategoriye indirgenmesine hep ama hep karşı çıkalım. Çok zor bir coğrafya yaşadığımız. Dayanışma önemli, kızkardeşlik önemli, birbirimizin sesine ve hikayesine sahip çıkalım. Depremi unutmak yok, depremzedeleri asla yalnız bırakmayalım. #depremiunutmaunutturma #6şubat #insanlık 📚📚📚 I have never forgotten this photograph. I’ve never forgotten the earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria precisely one year ago, leaving more than 50 000 people dead, thousands more wounded and traumatised. The earthquake was so devastating it affected more than 15 million people across 11 provinces and multiple cities. On this grave, on a wooden placard, it says “a little girl who has no one” but that’s not true. It’s not true that she had no one. She was someone’s daughter, sister, neighbour, beloved. Human beings are not numbers. People cannot be reduced to cold and heartless categories. Each and every person of all backgrounds who died in the earthquake had an important story. Let’s  always honour untold stories. #untoldstories #turkeyearthquake #syriaearthquake #humanityfirst

Elif Şafak - 9.9K Likes - Women do not need their bodies controlled, their hair or clothes judged, their behaviour constantly checked and their morals policed and their freedoms suppressed and their voices silenced by patriarchy. We want basic human rights, freedom, the right to be ourselves and to tell our stories, and dignity— the dignity that every human being fully and equally deserves. But misogynists want to erase women from the streets, from public space, from work and school and society, they want to erase women from life. Whether it is the Taliban in Afghanistan or the bigots in Turkey or the fanatics in Iran or the fundamentalists anywhere in the world today, they have this in common: They want to erase women, attack and destroy women’s rights. My deepest respect to the women and youth of Iran fighting for equality, dignity, women’s rights and democracy. It has been a year since #mahsaamini was killed. Never forget. Stand in solidarity with Iranian women #jinjiyanazadi #womenlifefreedom #womensrightsarehumanrights #womanlifefreedom #genderequalityforall #womensrightsmatter #smashthepatriarchy #globalsisterhood #intersectionalfeminism (pictures @sarahkessler.autorin @dwnews @nazaninboniadi @amnestyuk )📚📚📚 Tam bir sene oldu  #mahsaamini öldürüleli İran’da. İster Afganistan’daki Taliban rejimi olsun, ister Türkiye’deki yobazlar olsun, ister İran’daki bağnazlar olsun,,isterse dünyanın herhangi bir yerindeki benzer zihniyet… hepsinin ortak bir noktası var: kadınlara ve kadın haklarına düşmanlar. kadınları sokaklardan ve okullardan ve iş hayatından ve tüm kamusal alandan tamamen silmek istiyorlar. kadına tahammülleri yok. Eşitliğe tahammülleri yok. kadın düşmanlığı tüm yobazların ortak yanı. eşitliğe, özgürlüğe ve demokrasiye inanan herkese ve bilhassa İran’daki kadınlara ve gençlere yürek dolusu sevgiyle, dayanışmayla #kadınhakları #kadınyaşamözgürlük #eşitlik #kadınlarkadınlarıdestekliyor

Stand in solidarity with Iranian women #jinjiyanazadi #womenlifefreedom #womensrightsarehumanrights #womanlifefreedom #genderequalityforall #womensrightsmatter #smashthepatriarchy #globalsisterhood #intersectionalfeminism (pictures @sarahkessler.autorin @dwnews @nazaninboniadi @amnestyuk )📚📚📚 Tam bir sene oldu #mahsaamini öldürüleli İran’da. İster Afganistan’daki Taliban rejimi olsun, ister Türkiye’deki yobazlar olsun, ister İran’daki bağnazlar olsun,,isterse dünyanın herhangi bir yerindeki benzer zihniyet… hepsinin ortak bir noktası var: kadınlara ve kadın haklarına düşmanlar. kadınları sokaklardan ve okullardan ve iş hayatından ve tüm kamusal alandan tamamen silmek istiyorlar. kadına tahammülleri yok. Eşitliğe tahammülleri yok. kadın düşmanlığı tüm yobazların ortak yanı. eşitliğe, özgürlüğe ve demokrasiye inanan herkese ve bilhassa İran’daki kadınlara ve gençlere yürek dolusu sevgiyle, dayanışmayla #kadınhakları #kadınyaşamözgürlük #eşitlik #kadınlarkadınlarıdestekliyor

Elif Şafak - 9.7K Likes - Silver Bestseller Award for The Island of Missing Trees. 

When I first started writing this novel, and I realised  there was going to be a tree at its centre and the tree was going to talk, I was terrified. It was a big risk. If the idea of a “talking tree” did not work, the entire novel could collapse, but I wanted to take this literary risk because I kept hearing the voice of the fig tree inside my head and inside my heart, day and night, and I believed in her, and I wanted to honour the stories of nature, alongside the stories of human beings, both joyful and painful. So for me, this is not an award about “best selling”, it’s not about numbers. For me it primarily means that the voice of the fig tree touched the hearts of many others and for that I am deeply grateful. #theislandofmissingtrees #booksarethebestgifts #writersandpoets #womenwhowrite #literaryfiction #fictionwriters #booksbooksbooks #elifshafak #bookclubstagram #readinguk #readwithme #booksuggestions 📚📚📚 romanım #kayıpağaçlaradası İngiltere'de Gümüş Edebiyat Ödülüne layık görüldü, çok teşekkür ediyorum bilhassa okurlara

Flanked by remarkable lamassu sculptures, we talked about my new novel #thereareriversinthesky We talked about some of the central themes in the book, including cultural heritage and memory, and how these massive sculptures of Ancient Mesopotamian civilisations have ended up in the British museum. We discussed at length how leading museums today need to engage in the important debate about the complexities and mistakes of the past and how they also need to actively engage in finding a new inclusive narrative and a constructive way forward with regards to the future of these beautiful artefacts. We talked about some of the most complex and urgent and universal issues, including questions about cultural preservation, repatriation and international collaboration. Literature can be a calm and nuanced space to open up the most pressing issues of our times. Thank you for this magical evening.

Elif Şafak - 6.3K Likes - I read the news from Gaza and the refugee camp with a very heavy heart, with immense sorrow. My heart goes out to all those innocent children caught up in this horrific war and violence, children who have nothing to do with politics. This week this powerful article was published in @guardian It is written by an amazing Afghan writer and women’s rights activist @zarlasht_halaimzai who tells us about what it was like to experience bombs and rockets as a child in Kabul, #Afghanistan. The horror and the trauma of enduring war through a child’s eyes. Thank you @zarlasht_halaimzai for writing and sharing. We urgently need humanitarian solidarity and aid. #humanityfirst #humankind 📚📚📚 bombalara, şiddete, savaşa masum bir çocuğun tanıklığı… bu önemli ve çarpıcı yazı The Guardian gazetesinde çıktı. Afgan yazar ve kadın hakları savunucusu @zarlasht_halaimzai tarafından kaleme alındı, kendi çocukluğundan ve Afganistan’da yaşadıklarından yola çıkarak savaşın masum çocukları nasıl ömür boyu travma altında bıraktığını anlattı. Gazze’de yaşanan yıkım ve acıyı büyük üzüntü ve çaresizlik içinde takip ederken muhakkak okunması gereken bir yazı olduğunu düşünüyorum #insanlık

Each “number” was someone’s most beloved son or daughter. I know many people across the world struggle to find the right words but we have to emphasize that always and always civilian lives must be protected. Children have to be protected. Humanity first. Coexistence is possible. Peace is possible. Love has to be stronger than hatred. Ceasefire now. (Photo credit @guardian ) @savethechildren @savechildrenuk 📚📚📚 100 günde 10 000 çocuk öldü Gazze’de. Rakamlarla konuşmak, rakamlarla anlatmak mümkün değil yaşanan travmanın boyutunu. Her bir “istatistik” bir can demek, birinin biricik evladı demek, çok büyük bir acı ve travma. Ateşkes. Ateşkes. Barış mümkün olmalı, olabilmeli.

The media coverage has been deeply problematic, putting women, once again, under the microscope. This was a horrific case of misogyny, hatred and violence against women and #femicide It is not a stand-alone crime. The Kenyan Parliament needs to urgently criminalise femicide. All countries around the world must do the same. Please remember her name with love and respect.

Dünya çapında başarılı bir atlet, gurur duyulacak bir sporcu, Kenya'da eski erkek arkadaşı tarafından üzerine benzin dökülüp ateşe verilerek katledildi. Bu korkunç kadın düşmanlığı, bu zorbalık tek başına bir hadise değil. Dünya basınında haber verilirken büyüteç hep kadının üzerindeydi; katil zorba erkeğin üzerinde değil.  Kenya'da parlamento kadına yönelik şiddet ve cinayetlerin ağır cezalar alması için yasaları değiştirmek zorunda. Tabi ki bu sadece Kenya'yı ilgilendiren bir kriz değil, bütün dünyanın ve Türkiye'nin bu adımları acilen atması çok önemli. Bıkmadan usanmadan #kadınayönelikşiddetehayır #istanbulsözleşmesiyaşatır

Elif Şafak - 4.3K Likes - A much loved Palestinian bookshop in East Jerusalem was raided by the police in Israel and the booksellers were arrested and books were confiscated. This is unacceptable, totally wrong but it did not get enough attention in international media. Bookshops are among our last remaining spaces of free speech, cultural dialogue, empathy and connectivity. While I am glad that the bookseller Mahmood Muna and his young nephew were released today, I find it important that we raise our voices also for cultural spaces, bookshops and libraries. They must be protected and respected. I know this sounds like a "luxury" amidst such immense human suffering , but protecting booksellers and bookshops is important not only for a small literary community but whole humanity. I am attaching a statement put out by the Edinburgh Book Festival that explains in further detail what happened @edbookfest 📚📚📚 Kudüs'te çok sevilen Filistinli bir kitapevine İsrail polisinin baskın yapması, kitapçıları tutuklaması, kitaplara el koyup suç unsuru muamelesi yapması kabul edilemez, yanlış ve hazin. Bunca acı elem ve ölüm arasında kitapevlerini konuşmak zor ama kütüphanelere, kültürel ve edebi alanlara ve kitapevlerine sahip çıkmak önemli.

And it was also known as Robin Hood Tree, ever since it was featured in the film. This gorgeous, beautiful tree that held so many stories and memories was felled in a deliberate act of vandalism. They came, they killed the tree and then ran away. It just broke my heart. Why this hatred towards nature? The earth feeds us. The Mother Tree.

Violence against children and violence against women in Turkey do not solely come from the streets and strangers as it has been taught to us, it so often happens in the very place where women and children are supposed to be the safest: within the family. We have to talk about the family structures and oppressions. We have the change these broken old laws and adopt a new progressive legislation to protect victims of abuse and violence.

In The Guardian, “Sathnam Sanghera, Elif Shafak, Sarah Waters and more make their reading resolutions for 2024” I am preparing an eclectic reading list guided by the flow of rivers. This year I have been working on my new novel There Are Rivers in the Sky. Writing about rivers and floods, immersing myself in the mysteries of water, made me appreciate how connected we all are across borders. @guardian #writersandpoets #writersworld #booksarelove #readingrecommendations #elifshafak #theislandofmissingtrees #10minutes38secondsinthisstrangeworld #thebastardofistanbul #thefortyrulesoflove #guardianbooks #bookloversunite #fictionkin (photo thanks to @jooneywoodward )📚📚📚 The Guardian gazetesinde #kitaptavsiyeleri #okumaköşesi #yazarlar #yazarlarvekitaplar #edebiyataşkı #okumakiptiladır

Hayalleri, hikayeleri vardı. İnsanların sadece birer rakama dönüştürülmesine veya kategoriye indirgenmesine hep ama hep karşı çıkalım. Çok zor bir coğrafya yaşadığımız. Dayanışma önemli, kızkardeşlik önemli, birbirimizin sesine ve hikayesine sahip çıkalım. Depremi unutmak yok, depremzedeleri asla yalnız bırakmayalım. #depremiunutmaunutturma #6şubat #insanlık 📚📚📚 I have never forgotten this photograph. I’ve never forgotten the earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria precisely one year ago, leaving more than 50 000 people dead, thousands more wounded and traumatised. The earthquake was so devastating it affected more than 15 million people across 11 provinces and multiple cities. On this grave, on a wooden placard, it says “a little girl who has no one” but that’s not true. It’s not true that she had no one. She was someone’s daughter, sister, neighbour, beloved. Human beings are not numbers. People cannot be reduced to cold and heartless categories. Each and every person of all backgrounds who died in the earthquake had an important story. Let’s  always honour untold stories. #untoldstories #turkeyearthquake #syriaearthquake #humanityfirst

Caption : Unutmadım, unutmak mümkün değil. #6şubatdepremi “Kimsesiz” değildi o, birilerinin evladı, canı, kardeşi, komşusuydu. Yaşasaydı ne kadar önemli işler yapacaktı o kız çocuğu. Hayalleri, hikayeleri vardı. İnsanların sadece birer rakama dönüştürülmesine veya kategoriye indirgenmesine hep ama hep karşı çıkalım. Çok zor bir coğrafya yaşadığımız. Dayanışma önemli, kızkardeşlik önemli, birbirimizin sesine ve hikayesine sahip çıkalım. Depremi unutmak yok, depremzedeleri asla yalnız bırakmayalım. #depremiunutmaunutturma #6şubat #insanlık 📚📚📚 I have never forgotten this photograph. I’ve never forgotten the earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria precisely one year ago, leaving more than 50 000 people dead, thousands more wounded and traumatised. The earthquake was so devastating it affected more than 15 million people across 11 provinces and multiple cities. On this grave, on a wooden placard, it says “a little girl who has no one” but that’s not true. It’s not true that she had no one. She was someone’s daughter, sister, neighbour, beloved.

According to Save the Children every day more than ten children are being wounded with terrible injuries in Gaza. They need medical care and psychological support. Among them are many orphans. We international authors have come together to raise funds to help children and babies who need urgent medical assistance. We are donating limited signed copies of our books and there will be auctions to raise money, all of which will go to a Children’s Fund. You can find further details about this literary and humanitarian initiative on #booksforgaza website.
