ABOUT THE BOOK
Amid the chaos of war, Gustave Flaubert created one of the most scandalous heroines literature has ever known: Madame Bovary. How? And what if, 175 years later, she – and other women history has overlooked – could take the quill from his hand and dream up a new story?
In One Brief Moment All Eternity reimagines the life of an iconic male writer through the women, real and fictional, who shaped him: a devoted nursemaid, an Egyptian dancer, a literary heroine who refuses to be silenced. Spanning decades and continents, from revolutionary Paris to Ottoman Istanbul, Cairo, Palestine and Beirut, it is both an intimate portrait of an artist and a meditation on storytelling itself: who gets remembered, who gets erased, and how literature endures in the darkest times.
