The Island of Missing Trees

In The Island of Missing Trees, Elif Shafak weaves a breathtaking tale set against the backdrop of a divided Cyprus in 1974. Two teenagers   Kostas, a Greek Cypriot Christian & Defne, a Turkish Cypriot Muslim  meet in secret at a hidden tavern, the only safe haven where their forbidden love can bloom amidst growing political unrest. Beneath the blackened beams and garlands of garlic, chili peppers & wild herbs, The Island of Missing Trees becomes not just their secret meeting place but a silent witness to their story.

Years later, in London, the legacy of that love endures through their daughter, who uncovers the hidden past her parents tried to leave behind. Through the voice of a fig tree growing in their backyard, The Island of Missing Trees explores themes of love, loss, displacement & the power of nature to remember what humans try to forget.

The Island of Missing Trees is a lyrical, moving novel that bridges past and present, giving voice to untold stories of war, exile & enduring love.
