About the Event
We will be discussing The Island of Missing Trees, a best-selling novel written by Elif Shafak. Set against the 1974 Greek and Turkish conflict in Cyprus, the book spans multiple timelines. It follows the love story of Greek Cypriot Kostas and Turkish Cypriot Defne, their eventual migration to London, and the impact of their past and their history on their daughter Ada, whose only connection to Cyprus is the fig tree in her garden. This book is a moving, beautifully written and delicately constructed story of love, division, transcendence, history and eco-consciousness. Registration closes April 19th. Questions?
