Krátky popis
It is 1974 on the island of Cyprus. Two teenagers, from opposite
sides of a divided land, meet at a tavern in the city they both
call home. The tavern is the only place that Kostas, who is Greek
and Christian, and Defne, who is Turkish and Muslim, can meet, in
secret, hidden beneath the blackened beams from which hang garlands
of garlic, chilli peppers and wild herbs. This is where one can
find the best food in town, the best music, the best wine. But
there is something else to the place: it makes one forget, even if
for just a few hours, the world outside and its immoderate sorrows.
In the centre of the tavern, growing through a cavity in the roof,
is a fig tree. This tree will witness their hushed, happy meetings,
their silent, surreptitious departures, and the tree will be there
when the war breaks out, when the capital is reduced to rubble,
when the teenagers vanish and break apart. Decades later in north
London, sixteen-year-old Ada Kazantzakis has never visited the
island where her parents were born. Desperate for answers, she
seeks to untangle years of secrets, separation and silence. The
only connection she has to the land of her ancestors is a Ficus
Carica growing in the back garden of their home. In The Island of
Missing Trees, prizewinning author Elif Shafak brings us a rich,
magical tale of belonging and identity, love and trauma, nature,
and, finally, renewal.
