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 two main timelines, one set in moder

DeleteDobro pitanje. Većina ustvari ni ne razmišlja o takvim stvarima pa je umetnost nešto što leži samo pojedincima. Ipak je to neki viši nivo svesti...
ReplyDeleteJoš jednom si pomešala dezene i u tome ti nema ravne :) Sve je divno i taj kaput je tako nekako moćan ;)
nekako mi je baš žao kad vidim koliko rada umjetnici ulože vremena u svoja djela jer tu pribranost koja je potrebna da se postigne umjetnost nije lako postići, pa onda još cijeli život u neizvjesnosti ( Tennesse Williams je jedno cijelo ljeto živio na riži i dva manga), a na kraju je uvijek neka hajka na umjetnike kao na neradnike. Oni su nekad mi se čini i najveći radnici, jer je to (pa bilo pisanje, fotografija ili što god) i intelektualni i duhovni rad.
DeleteBeautiful photographs, Ivana! They have an air of upcoming spring somehow. I like that combination of tartan and stripes prints, looks so interesting!
ReplyDeletethank you Olga.
Deletebeautiful location, and what a fab way to layer for winters.

DeleteThat quote is so moving, especially I like the part about the love and betray :) You're right - life isn't the same as art, sometimes art is more painful. What about your outfit, your coat has beautiful color which suits to you and your natural beauty, Ivana, you should wear it more often :) Hope you had successful day, my dear ;)
ReplyDeletethank you. I love this coat but sometimes I forget to wear it.

Those are very powerful words indeed. I feel as if art can be on a different level from life but we choose to put it there. Great pattern mixing in this outfit!
ReplyDeletethanks Rowena
DeleteI do not recall this quote but it is certainly provocative and thought-filling. Will have to consider this one.

I can't remember the edition I found it in...I have a copy of the essay, but from what book did I copy it...not sure.
DeleteZaista duboke reci koje ostavljaju utisak i teraju na razmisljanje! Sto se outfit-a tice, sve je jako slatko, a posebno me je odusevio kozni kaputic.
