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! Published in 2021, this postmodern novel follows two story lines and uses framed narration. The Island of Missing Trees tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.

ReplyDeleteI know your love about painting with coffee, you really know how to do it right:) That sketch is so original and special, as always. The of the most exciting thing about it that you used coffee to create it:))) By the way, "kava" is Croatian language, right? In Serbia language is different? I must say I like some Serbian songs, so I'm curious is this the same language or very different one?

DeleteCool look!)))
