ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK
The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak is a poignant novel that explores the complexities of love, memory, and identity against the backdrop of the Cyprus conflict. The story follows Kostas and Defne, two lovers torn apart by political and religious divisions, and their daughter Ada, who struggles with the trauma of her mother's death. The narrative weaves personal histories with the broader cultural impact of war and exile. The symbolic presence of a fig tree serves as a powerful motif, representing resilience, loss, and the deep connection between humans and nature amidst historical upheaval.
