  • The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak

    £8.99

    Two teenagers, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, meet at a taverna on the island they both call home.

    The taverna is the only place that Kostas and Defne can meet in secret, hidden beneath the blackened beams from which hang garlands of garlic and chilli peppers, creeping honeysuckle, and in the centre, growing through a cavity in the roof, a fig tree.

    The fig tree witnesses their hushed, happy meetings; their silent, surreptitious departures. The fig tree is there, too, when war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to ashes and rubble, when the teenagers vanish.

    Decades later, Kostas returns – a botanist,looking for native species – looking, really, for Defne.

    The Island of Missing Trees is a rich, magical tale of belonging and identity, love and trauma, nature and renewal, from the Booker-shortlisted author of 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World.
