AWW22 The Island of Missing Trees - Elif Shafak

Chaired by Michael Williams.


In best-selling author Elif Shafak’s The Island of Missing Trees,
star-crossed lovers Greek Christian Kostas and Turkish Muslim
Defne navigate the violence of the partition of Cyprus to
eventually find safety in London. Elif’s last novel, 10 Minutes
38 Seconds in This Strange World, was short-listed for the Booker
Prize. This stunningly original follow-up is a beautifully
crafted story of love, loss and belonging, infused with the
humanity and heart that is the hallmark of Elif’s acclaimed
writings.
