THE ISLAND OF MISSING TREES: Elif Shafak

THE ISLAND OF MISSING TREES

by Elif Shafak

Did you know you can bury a fig tree during winter? This book opens with a series of emotional mysteries and a buried tree. As the pages tick over you will be immersed not just in a story of star-crossed lovers, but also an island in civil war. Shafak gives a voice to the island of Cypress capturing all its flavours and textures. I adored this book, it’s about what you lose and what you hopefully will find again.
