The Island of Missing Trees: Shortlisted for the Costa Novel Of The Year Award

Very informative and unique theme, shows a love for nature coupled with joys and sorrows of life.

I had to stop myself and pace myself, as I couldn't put this book down. Elif Shafak has a unique way to tell her story and breathe life into it. Loved it!

You get a vivid picture of the hardships citizens of Cyprus lived through during civil war that divided neighbours and families. A fig tree plays a pivotal role as a unique narrator . A teenage girl, living in London, deals with the secrets of her parents' pasts.

I truly believe Ms Shafak is one of the most gifted writers I've ever read. She has a way of telling story with simplicity, complexion, beauty, tragedy, sadness, and joy all at the same time. I went into this book with vague knowledge of such a difficult time in Cyprus and know much more now. I love how she weaved other country's tragic genocides and wars into this story by way of her characters and those they worked with. I especially loved how in depth and natural each character was. This is a book I will reread many times throughout my life. I am grateful for Elif Shafak.

Excelente escritora. Nunca me decepciona. Felicidades a Elif Shafak
