Otok nestalih stabala

Otok nestalih stabala

Elif Shafak

Defne and Kostas are on opposite sides of the divided earth; she is Turkish, he is Greek, both call Cyprus home, and their love is forbidden.

The only place where they can meet is the tavern Sretna skomva, named so because of the wonderful Ficus carica tree that grows in the middle of the room. That fig tree will witness their happy meetings and silent partings, but it will also be there when war breaks out, turns the city into ruins and separates the lovers. Decades later, sixteen-year-old Ada, born in London, becomes interested in the land of her ancestors. She has never visited Cyprus, and the only connection to that island is the fig tree that grows in her yard. What kind of story will unfold in front of Ada once he dives deeper into family secrets? In the novel The Island of Missing Trees, award-winning author Elif Shafak brings us a gorgeous story about belonging and identity, love and pain, memory and forgetting, human destruction of nature and finally - restoration, in every sense of the word.
