I wandered into my local bookstore in North London looking for a paperback about London or historical fiction and this was both. Elif Shafak writes sentences that make you reread them:
River Tigris
“Beside them the river flows, fast and furious, rolling its pebbles like dice.” p44
River Thames
“It has been drizzling since the early, clouds hanging over the city the colour of a neglected fish tank.” P66
