I would like to add a book to the literature section of this article on Yazidis. Elif Shafak's 2024 novel "There are Rivers in the Sky" is a split-timeline novel about water, that reaches from the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal to a hydrologist in present-day London and addresses the persecution, and 2014 massacre, of the Yazidi. PLEASE NOTE: the words above are almost identical to the ones on Elif Shafak's Wikipedia page, and I do not want to plagiarize. Perhaps the person who makes this edit can rectify the wording? The link to the NOVEL is: [Are Rivers in the Sky] The link to the AUTHOR is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elif_Shafak On a personal note, the book's ending made me cry a river.
