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. This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story. The Island of Missing Trees is set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological . The story jumps back and forth, following ...

Language learning can be difficult but it gets easier with time. Listening to English songs is a good way to improve one's vocabulary. Try exposing yourself to the language you're learning as much as you can and then after some time, speaking it will become easier (but that needs work as well).

DeleteGreat job capturing that helicopter! I was trying to find the text in this post, but it's nice to see just photos sometimes. They speak for themselves. Great scenic shots! The buildings look interesting. We don't have anything that's shaped like that here in the US as far as I know. Architecture is fascinating to me.
ReplyDeleteI love architecture too! My mother studied it, but gave it up to raise me and my brother.
DeleteThe helicopter shot was taken by my husband (most of others were taken by me). It was funny coincedence that the helicopter was landing just as I was taking outfit photos.
amazing pics, Need to go there

It's agave, originally from Mexico, brought to Europe by Spanish and Portugese mariners.
