Elif Shafak reading from her compelling new novel Three Daughters of Eve and in conversation with Adam Mars-Jones, chair of judges for The Goldsmiths Prize 2018.
'Elif Shafak's urgent, topical novel explores the ambiguities and dangers of being caught in the Land of Between. The book's protagonist, Peri, is torn between her mother and her father, between her love and hate for a charismatic professor, between the double lures of religiosity and secularism. Three Daughters of Eve upends the omnipresent but crude truisms of East and West, oppression and liberation, right and wrong that continue to divide, torment, and haunt us all.' - Siri Hustvedt
