From Our Book Lover-In-Chief
Most of all, I love the message at heart: humanity and nature are interwoven and despite our differences, there is far more that unites us.
Let me start by saying that this book moved me to tears. From the captivating prose and magnetic writing, to the stunning imagery, everything about #TheIslandOfMissingTrees by @ShafakElif is incredibly enchanting. It is a powerful and poignant story about love, grief, exile - and well, trees. Set in different time periods, the story revolves around a couple who met in Cyprus shortly before the 1974 conflict. There’s magic, mystery and a tree that plays a pivotal role which transcends world wars, cultures and great love. Most of all, I love the message at heart: humanity and nature are interwoven and despite our differences, there is far more that unites us.
