THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be!

It looks like a very nice neighborhood. I love the sunset colours on the buildings x

ReplyDeleteDa, nije tipično primorski... mada meni se zapravo sviđaju ove nove zgrade (većina dio sveučilišnog kampusa), dosta su se lijepo uklopile u kvart, a i ovi kvartovi (Split 3, Trstenik) su dosta planski rađeni što je kod nas postala rijetkost.
DeleteYou have some really nice buildings in your neighbourhood. I like the mirrored one :)

Lepo je što si nam pokazala i ovaj drugačiji deo Splita, mislim da svi zamišljamo more, stare uliičice i sve te tipične detalje vezane za primorski grad. Baš mi se sviđa :)
