Description

The Island of Missing Trees is a poignant tale of belonging and identity, love and trauma, memory and amnesia, set against the backdrop of a divided land. In 1974, two teenagers from opposite sides of Cyprus meet in secret at a taverna, where a fig tree witnesses their hushed, happy meetings. Decades later, their daughter Ada sets out to uncover the truth about her family's past and the island that shaped their lives.

Prizewinning author Elif Shafak weaves a rich, magical narrative that explores the human-induced destruction of nature and the power of renewal. With its unique blend of history, culture, and family secrets, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in stories of love, loss, and the complexities of human experience.

Hardback, 355 pages, published 07/04/2022 by Penguin Books, Limited.
