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.

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 ...

DeleteYou have taken us on a tour of a new city in your area, Selfie Town :) And boy all the sights there are so beautiful and breathtaking. Look at that one with the light behind you.

Lijepo se podsjetiti svega... i sama sam neki dan radila presjek svoje 2015. ... baš te uhvati neka nostalgija, kako li je samo proletjela :) Ja sam i dalje zaljubljena i to besramno u tvoju vintage haljinu iz Australije :) a najviše te volim vidjeti u suknjama /haljinama pencil kroja jer imaš divno tijelo i noge i baš ti laskaju! Veselim se novim kombinacijama!
