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! 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.

Beautiful nature, beautiful photographs! The one with the sun reflecting in water is just amazing.
ReplyDeleteCiao Ivana! Ho letto il tuo commento sul l'olio di rosa!
