Elif Shafak Discusses New Novel

On Wednesday, 25 November 2026, at the Duke of York's Picturehouse in Brighton, Elif Shafak will be in conversation, broadcast live from The Gate Picturehouse in Notting Hill, to discuss her new novel, _In One Brief Moment All Eternity_. This event is proudly presented in partnership with the Women's Prize, and Elif will be talking to Claire Shanahan, Executive Director of the Women's Prize Trust.

Elif Shafak is a British-Turkish novelist and storyteller with an impressive portfolio of 21 published books, including _10 Minutes 38 Seconds In This Strange World_ and _The Architect’s Apprentice_. Her latest novel, _In One Brief Moment All Eternity_, offers a fresh perspective on the women who shaped the life of iconic male writer Gustave Flaubert, giving voice to those who have been overlooked by history.

The conversation will delve into Elif's inspiration for the book, her approach to storytelling, and the power of reclaiming the stories of women who have been erased from history.
